am I green ?

The word "mica" is thought to be derived from the Latin word micare, meaning to shine, in reference to the brilliant appearance of this mineral (especially when in small scales).

.כן, אתה ירוק כארן כסוף

By the way, do you really think that the plastic ties will prevent the theft of the wheel covers?

 

I noticed something interesting on your rear bumper. Does the Israeli version of the Prius come with a "Sonar" back-up system instead of the rear camera?

It seems that every second or third car in Israel is missing at least one wheel cover or hubcap. I just assumed that they were stolen, since the roads seem to be in at least as good a shape as those in post Prop 13 California and hardly any car here seems to be missing them.

What section of Yerushalaim do you live in?

Avi,

I am interested in the placement of your camera. I fitted mine in the same position as Toyota do with the factory fitted camera - just above the plate, and pointing down towards the ground. Your camera appears to be straight out the back. I would have thought that this would have given you a good view from the camera.

Also, where do you have the screen for the camera? Is it a separate screen, or are you using the MFD?

 

Got a funny story about that color: I arrived in Ontario Airport in California and after signing all the rental papers for the Prius rental I was told my car was the "silver" one. So I go outside and there is a long row full of Priuses (or Pria for you traditional latin inclined folk...): a few red, a few white, some GREEN, a couple blue, and on the end of the row one SILVER. So, I walk to the end of the row, put my luggage inside the Prius, sit on the seat and I am faced with the lack of a key: my first time driving a Prius. Before I step outside and get my luggage out of the car to walk back to the counter I decide to look at the dashboard: lo and behold, no whole for a key, so no key! So I find the owner's manual, read how to start this car and get it started. I am finally moving, rolling towards the exit on my SILVER Prius. I get to the gate and the security guy who releases the cars tells me I have the wrong car. I told him they gave the silver one and that this was the only silver Prius they had. He said "No, your car is on spot G22, this car you got was on G30". So I drive back, park this SILVER Prius on G30, get my stuff out, walk back to G22 and what else: it was the GREEN Prius, a color called Silver Pine Mica, called SILVER by AVIS. Turns out the actually silver color is called CLASSIC, as Toyota Calls it Classic Silver Mettalic... go figure!
