My wife & I have 6 vehicles combined. I have 2 summer cars and a SUV for year 'round. She has 2 summer cars and a winter car. My other summer car is a 2006 with 10,500 miles on it. I put it in storage the day before I brought my Prius home. My wife's one summer car is a 2008 with 5000 miles on the clock. Her other summer car gets driven to work daily when we are in town. We end up driving rentals more than our own vehicles as we travel frequently. I have over 20k miles on rental Prii I wanted to own a Prius after that long test drive so I ordered what is pictured on the left. So far it has never seen a rain drop & never will see winter as long as I own it. It sits in the garage until I can be home to drive it or have nothing to do other than take a spin around the countryside. I am retired so nowhere to go except drive our son to school & back, but I use my SUV for that. On rare occasions I will drive my Prius to pick him up as he likes to ride in daddy's cool car as he calls it Mike
Yeah, I do. The kennel is actually quite comfortable once you get used to it and get the dog to move over a little.
It's quite irritating that Toyota does 'safety' crap like the aggravating rear back-up beeper (which can only be reduced to a single beep by the dealer) and a Nav system that is nearly inoperable while the vehicle is in motion, yet when they make DRLs standard across the board, don't also include automatic headlights, as well. Because of the now standard DRLs on a vehicle with an LED instrument cluster, the OP's point is valid, i.e., on non-auto headlight vehicles, it's quite easy to go driving around at night with DRLs thinking that the headlights are on.
There are many people driving Toyota's around with their DRL's turned off. I think many people are just unaware what the different settings on the headlamp stawk mean. Mike Mobile on my SGH-i717
