Damn.
This Prius got us to Washington and back. Yesterday it even got us to a doctor's appmt. It's getting 43 mpg (new, it was 47 mpg).
It keeps trying to lure us into a false sense of security. LCF was thinking we could still drive it into next year. But I've been increasingly leery. It's getting ready to strand us in a very bad place. So we decided to have the main beattery replaced. Today. In a couple hours.
The fobs won't work now. Can't even use the key to open the door. It's kaput.
Seventeen years, and we pushed it too far by one day.
