    I think the secret to all of this is, he keep the thing moving. Also, he probably was saying, " What the hell do I have to lose?"

    I remembered seeing this video quite some time ago, probably from another thread here on PriusChat.

    Tracking back to the underlying YouTube video, it was posted May 26, 2015. Probably from one of Houston's other 21st Century '100 year floods', now nearly an annual occurrence.

    Probably sold that car, and the guy who bought is posting here about his prematurely dead HV battery
