Gained a decent amount of time in my runs by holding throttle longer & braking shorter & harder – too much and the car will push. Left a lot of distance from carrying too much speed again. Need to keep the lines tighter, pull back & tidier. Maybe not necessarily pull back, but all turns are LATE! Left some…

Prius Canvasback Liner

Received & installed my new Canvasback liner for the Prius today! Only post I’ll go into with a little more detail than the last few updates. I got this same liner for my Rav4, and because of how useful it was, repurchased it for the Prius. This arrived very quickly, and they even included a…

Pay attention to the…

CCSCC 04232017
