    I would say he calls New Orleans home which is about 1800 miles from LA. He either just bought the Prius and was driving it home from LA or he recently moved. I will guess he bought it recently and it has signs of head gasket sealer in it when he tears it down.

    Great! His location now says he is in "Nawlins."

    Glad he made it home safe.

    I'm seeing that some parts are sinking at 2 inches per year, though the average for the area is slower.

    Those 2003 numbers may need considerable adjustment now ...

    Sort of like a whole-car version of the auto headlight leveling system.
