Goodies You'd Like but Can't Afford Right Now

In Channel Window Visors! Anyone find these yet?

 

I think the hitch and fog lights have completed my list. Just going to have fun now.

I could use something like that to hang on the back of my seat.

 

Charlie Sheens Malibu Beach House summer rental with a garage to park my Prius with a $100,000 expense account and 3 months off from work.

 

lol you beat me to it. I was going to say Gwyneth Paltrow

 

Well for sure throw in a A List Celebrity neighbor and a $100,000 US expense account I'm sure I can have some wild parties. I'd invite all my Prius buddies and throw in Air fare.

 

Available from Japan. Expensive.

 

I'd like to shave the door handles and side 'hybrid' badges. The car would look sonething like this:

 

I'd like to put a new Honda Fit EV in the garage.

I was pre-approved to lease one, but after i found out they have an average distance of 85 miles before you need a 3 hour charge.... that kinda turned me away. great looking car never the less.

 

I know 85 Miles would work for me most times, but that occasional long trip would make it impossible to be on a total EV and waiting around for public charges. I average anywhere from 12,000 to 15,000 miles per year depends on that year but I hate having a mileage penatly hanging over my head. If you like the car you tend to drive it more.

I just purchased my Prius in 2012 so who knows if I keep this car 7-10 years or get the itch and replace it is 3 years. Time will tell. I'd like to see what the Gen 4 Prius is all about, and wait a year for them to get the bugs out. If it is a nice car I may migrate to the Gen 4 PIP or Hybrid. By than I may have some equity in my car. Heck the Prius Hybrid IV loses about 6K in value when you drive it off the lot. Add the sales tax you paid and it's down 9K off sticker. That is why it is so important to negociate a good price when you buy.

 

Where did you get it? Is it online?

 

How expensive we talking? Do you have a link?

 

I'm afraid I was mistaken. I thought these were in-channel, but it appears from the photos that they are the stick-on kind.

Sorry to get your hopes up. I have gone to Weathertech and posted a request for the in-channel type and mud flaps as well. If they get enough requests, perhaps they will eventually make 'en.

 

I don't understand what people mean by "in-channel visors", but in terms of what you've linked to on ebay, this is a normal accessory available in Australia, called Slimline Weathershields. At least one dealer here in Sydney has them on ebay at a much cheaper price, though they seem to only offer to ship it in Australia. They might be worth contacting and/or just keeping an eye out for other Australian dealers putting them on ebay (c accessories here seem to come and go from ebay).
