I hope you enjoy Prius chat, I choose a custom rank, it amuses me and the rest of them put up with it. The more accurately you fill out your profile (was there an advanced technology package in 2002? etc.) the better help you can get. I am confused by folks asking how long is the battery warranty, who do not list the Model year or their location, both vital to answering the question
The default forum rank is junior member until you post 100 times then you become a senior member. So the reality of rankings are they mean nothing other than you spend time on here or you do not.
