You have a picture in a post from 2009 showing a gen1 Prius being towed with all 4 wheels on the ground behind a RV with a tow bar. The link you shared is no longer any good. Can you share any details on how to tow a Prius this way?

Bob - Sorry to bother you with this, but I have been looking for how you create a table in a post. I see other have do this, including you. What am I missing when I look at the formatting options in the forums?

Bob,
What plotting software are you using? You latest post has some really nice b-splines.

By the way, I've liked some of your cartoon postings and have sent them off to my friends on the internet.

Bob. We have talked in the past. Give me your opinion. Save car Ive had. Hasnt ran right since the winter.
Replaced all spark plus and all coils and the injectors were replaced today.

Bob,
It's been quite a while. What do you know about disabling the power steering on a 2002 prius.
Mine hit 250K recently and started with the PS errors and I'm tired of them.
Thanks
Mike

Hi Bob, I was searching through old posts and noticed a capacitor discharge experiment to revive dead NiMh batteries. I am working on similar experimentation and was wonder if you ever tried this and what your results were. Best!

Bwilson4web! Yes indeed I do want them! I dont know how to message you can you tell me how so I can give you my mailing address?? thanks so very much!!

Bob: I have just bought my third 2001 Prius. The transmission doesn't lock up when the shift lever is in the "Park" position. I posted an inquiry on Prius Chat but did not receive any significant replies. Do you know if there is an adjustment on the shift mechanism?

Hi Bob....I started a thread, " Prius pulling a RV? What do you pull !! ", on Prius 3rd Gen.....I put your name in their, just letting you know. Feel free to join in. Thanks.

Bob, I dropped out of Prius Chat because a car forum seemed like a tough place to discuss social and political issues. I drop in occasionly and am glad you and Icarus (and a few others) are still fighting the "good fight".

Thanks Richard Patterman

Bob your thoughts I bought this 2001 Prius with 116000 looks like it needs a new battery should I buy a used one or a reconditioned one installing it myself or should I just bite the bullet and have Toyota install a new one I own a garage and bought this car for personal use thank you !

Hey, I'm buying a 2005 Used Toyota Prius and someone in the forum told me to check out the HIV battery. I was wondering if you know how to check it out myself. If you do know how to do it and can shoot me PM I'd really appreciate it.

Hi Bob,
Great write up on the UPS project. I need a recomendation please. Whats the best Inverter model to use to power up a 5000 BTU AC unit and some LED lights and maybe a small FM radio please?
Thanks, Ray

Welcome back Bob, you were missed.

Are you still doing the rebuilt APA thing?

My issue just started. I have an '01 with about 175K on it. Occasionally as I'm criusing along at 35-45 the ICE cuts out and it slows suddenly. The MFD shows 100mpg and there are no warning lights. It doesn't last long and reverts back to normal at the next stop. Does this sound like Big Hand Syndrome or something your swithch would fix? Thanks!
