I like all of the rims. I like the Aero kit too.

Here is a question then for all you who know about RIMS. Do you think that they will weigh so much more then what is on the car, that it will affec the mileage?

The last thing I want to do, is affect the mileage, as in make it worse.

Thumbs up, TJ. I'm thinking about one of those for myself.

As far as the wheels, if they weigh more than the stock ones, they will probably have an effect on mileage. I say keep the stock ones, I'm a fan of them personally.

hmm im not really liking the stock rims just my opinion.

If you want rims just find some that weigh as much or less than the stock.

TJandBOXCARWILLIE

I kinda like the rims, to be honest, but as I get bored sometimes...

(I wonder if they treat ADD for cars...)

I like the idea of finding out how much the stock rims weigh...

jcway212

seriously, you have had a lot of cars, what do you do for a living??!?!?

TJandBOXCARWILLIE

I am a preacher. It's what I do.

And I do that for free. My 'living' as it were, is from stocks, investments, that sort of thing. Before I was a preacher, I was a radio DJ. And, if I do say so myself, a pretty good one.

(pats self on back)...but the list of cars, is not quite what it seems. Sure, I have had 35 cars. One was $50 bucks when I bought it (the '73 Super Beetle)...A lot of them were cheap cars, that I bought, and fixed up. Then sold for a profit ( a bit of a shade tree mechanic...not as much anymore...)...

I would say, that out of that list, maybe five or six I kept for a long time. One car on that list, I bought on a Friday, sold it on Saturday. As in the next day.

God does bless those who work for Him, I also think. IMHO, of course.

put them on a scale
congrats on the new ride...I almost bought one before the box....

Is that a power button on the dash? Do you have a key?

I have always disliked those wheels, but that's just my opinion.

mfbenson

That makes more sense... I'm on my 4th car ever. My wife is on her 3rd car ever.

35 cars... I doubt I've even driven that many cars, including friend's and rentals!

TJandBOXCARWILLIE

Yup, a power button.

I have what they call a 'Smart Key'. As long as it's in my pocket, I can start the car. And open the doors, no need to use the key in my pocket. It sends out a signal, and then I just pull on the handle. Kinda cool.

TJandBOXCARWILLIE

There is this device on the car, that can show you how many miles per gallon you are getting, within the last five minutes....Today, I reached a new high, as this picture will show you. Now, I took this with my camera phone...so it's not the greatest shot...



But ain't that cool? Over 75 MPG. That is a great reason to have this car.

Placebo

very kewl! have u done any mods yet?

TJandBOXCARWILLIE

Well. Not really. This one will take some time...seeing as I really like the car as it is.

Plus, I think I will mod the xA more so now.
Oh, but I do plan on getting leather for the Prius, ASAP.

Stealth97

Wow, You had a lot of work done to your box, and you traded it? You must have taken a huge hit.

Ive got a Prius on the way now, for the GF. These are really nice cars.

bBlover

I had a chance to explore the features of the Prius and I like it. I LOVE the push button start!!!! I love the climate and mileage control. They are pretty fast for a hybrid and accelerate pretty quickly too. I rode in one last week and I must say I love it!!

InTheWASide

Mine was black. I but chrome 18s on it and it looked SWEET.

(on;y effected my mpg by like 5-10) still averaged around 38
