I fully agree.
Not sure I'd use "fun" to describe that pull. They have a video of it drag racing a Hellcat Challenger (which it smokes, because it's basically a supercharged Hemi on wheels)...that Prius is all over the track; I kept waiting for the guy to eat it. Wheelbase is WAY too narrow and short for that kind of power.

Good morning all!

Proud to report that I have secured a parking space for Gabrielle, as my field assignment may be cut short as early as next month.

$175/mo, tight corners, and a low awning. But! 5 minute walk from my apartment!

That low awning is no joke...at 75" tall, Gabby clears it with about 2 1/2" to spare! (Well, except for the antenna :bandit:) Gonna have to be really careful with lifts in the future.:lipssealed:
Nice! When I moved to Chelsea years ago I sold my blazer...didn't even try to find a space for it!

"PiNO"? - Prius in Name Only :giggle:
More or less lol, I think if I put my Jeep body on my wife's Accord... wouldn't be much of a Jeep anymore. FWD with a 2.4 and a CVT with touring tires. I'd blow the gas mileage thread away though. lol.

Well, yeah. Chelsea parking? I'd be surprised if you could find anything under $500/mo. :lipssealed::piggybank:

I'll have one one day...right now I deal with the lack of one to pursue career and social interests...:giggle:

Ok, so 1 to make more money to buy jeep parts and 2 to meet more jeep people.

We're ok with that then!

Actually, glad you responded, Crazy. How much lift would I get with all those Rubi parts you keep teasing me with? I know the tires are 33s - there's one inch.

Anyone know if the stock Rubi suspension rides higher than a Sport?
Just airdown...

:cwl:

Well its only use is drag racing really. You wouldn't want to try to drive on a regular road with those tires or even do something like, make a turn from a stop. I doubt it even has an open differential.
