Thanks to all for the replies and the rock sliders suggestion. One more question: do any of you have a recommedation as to a manufactuer? I guess I will want bolt on. :thumb3:

Okay...what are "sliders" and where would I find them?

I don't have the option for parking away from others. Parking is basically just enough for the folks that work in the building. As for parking next to ****ty cars, because of the parking situation, I don't always have a choice.

In late December, I drove my just-detailed runner into work to show off to a buddy the quality of the detail job. As we were walking out from the office that afternoon, I noticed what looked like dirt on the front passenger door. turns out someone that had been parked nect to me had dinged my...

Here in AZ, we don't "Spring Forward" or "Fall Back" so no hassles with changing clocks, etc.

'08 V8 with cloth seats. Never liked leather, yes, I know they look better and you can get heated seats for winter, but overall, it's not worth the extra expense for me...I'd rather get (and did!) another useful option.

We were talking about the incentives this morning at work. Several people were saying that they were definitely going to head over to the local Toyota dealership soon to take advantage of the incentives.

Just saw this one this morning...no direct evidence of faking, but it is a tantalizing story... Did Bankrupt Runaway Prius Driver Fake "Unintended Acceleration?" - Toyota Recall - Jalopnik

It's interesting you mention that Eclipse is exiting the aftermark business, because, as I was scrolling through this thread, I decided to go to Crutchfield and look this up for my '08, with factory sound system... Crutchfield shows it "discontinued".

It has a pedal for the emergency. My boss was talking about it today (he drives a Prius). He also said that it doesn't have a "Neutral" gear per-se, but, if you hold down the button for "Brake" for 3 seconds, the car starts to slow ( "Drive" is disengaged) until stop and you cannot reengage...

I think it really depends on your type of driving. If you are mainly on-road, I would definitely vote for Michelin over any other, although they stand up pretty well as an off-road tire as well, I am mainly referring to the ride when on pavement.

Actually, before Toyota sells anymore vehicles, they should have a policy in place to ensure that the potential customer knows the difference between the gas and brake pedals. If they can't identify them, and what they are used for, then Toyota may refuse to sell them a vehicle.

As usual, we're all going to hear/read a lot of different takes...hopefully truth (whatever it may be) will prevail.

Not being a backseat driver. I saw the guy (prius driver) right before I left work work. What I wrote was what he basically said in the clip. He said he tried to stand on the brakes, etc., and when the officer pulled up next to him, told him to step on the brakes and apply the handbrake...that's...

Installation,durability, quiet....but they are not $40. $60 from Weathertech, but you may be able to find them on Ebay for a bit less.
