Finally shot a picture of my 2017 Prius 2

what, you want to see the duck tape on my rear bumper where it quacked?

 

No shame in that, sir. Only cosmetic.

 

Sorry! Website keeps locking up on me all day. Thought it hasn't

Edit: hadn't gone at all

Ffs

 

and then i'd have to learn how to upload a pic from my wife's iPhone to p/c.

 

Very simple. Just email it to yourself. Then save the picture in your P/C's photo album. (When all else fails, grab the nearest grandkid! )

 

i don't know how to save.

 

You can touch-up rims (and/or wheel covers) with the same colour.

 

No need to save, or to put pics in the PriusChat album. You can post pics directly on your iPhone (that's your phone IIRC?) if you like.

1. Take pic.
2. Navigate on your phone (say in Safari) to Priuschat thread you want to post pic to.
3. Commence posting (or edit existing, and choose "more options")
4. Press "upload a file" button
5. On pop-up, choose "Upload a file...", NOT the button directly below. (I know, goofy) like this:




6. On pop-up, choose "Photo Library". Other option is to take a pic on the fly, but I rarely if ever bother with that, simpler to ensure you've got a good pic first.
7. Choose "Camera Roll", and select the pic you want.
8. It'll crunch for a bit, then you're back in the text edit window, with your uploaded pic showing below the edit window. Like this:



Then, my pref:

9. Place cursor in the text window where you want the pic, then click the "full image" icon beside image. Give it time to upload.

OTOH, on a desktop or laptop PC, and I'm sure there's equals on a MAC, get your image in "clipboard", some way or other, then place the cursor in the text window where you want the image, and type <ctrl> V. Like this:

 

sure, why not?

 

I'm struggling just to open the website!!!!

 

maybe danny starts the updates acrost the pond, and works his way west.

 

Did you get all that, bisco?
I got a better idea. Just email a picture to Mendel, and I'm sure he would be happy to post it for you.
As Mendel says, I post photos directly from my iPhone, to the PriusChat thread. (the pics are saved in the iPhone album).

 

It was also a toss-up between silver & blizzard for me. I like both. As for the tint, that Llumar seems to be very good at cutting down the sun glare when driving or parked. I'm talking NO SUN comes in! It's like being in a coal mine at midnight!

And I think Mendel is going to ask, "So, how can you SEE OUT at night?" Good point. I have to admit, I need to take extra precaution but I rarely drive at night time. The tint on the front two side windows is illegal (too dark) and I may eventually have to lighten those up.

 

Mmmm

 

LOL! Mendel zipping his lips.

I blend right in with all the other 90% of vehicles in California with illegal tint.

Edit:
How dark can window tint be in California?
Darkness of tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission percentage (VLT%). In California, this percentage refers to percentage of visible light allowed in through the combination of film and the window.

Windshield | Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 4 inches of the windshield.

Front Side Windows | Must allow more than 70% of light in.

Back Side Windows | Any darkness can be used.

Rear Window | Any darkness can be used.

===

Wow. I think all my windows allow only 5% light in? Like I said... it's a coal mine at midnight! But I can see out pretty well during the daytime. And it does cut down the heat. The only time the car gets that high interior temp, is when parked. The roof is the biggest flat exposed surface, right? That must be where it draws the most heat from. (I have a Heatshield in the front & rear. So it's gotta be the roof.)

 

It was on and off a bit Monday for me, but ok yesterday, I think it's something to do with which server your ISP connects through.

 

I do not think it is the ISP. The website itself has issues.
