    I don't understand what some folks drive or how they mod them, but I'm not going to bash them for their choice as odd as it may be. Me I'd spend the money on ga$ rather than on an appliance, even a TRD one. Just me. :wink:

    I remember when TRD was a little known skunk works kind of place. They helped me out when I was running my FX16 in ITA.

    Yep & now it is nothing more than a badge & sticker package on Toyota's. Is there a TRD Prius yet? :prrr:

    Until the car reaches the end of its life and you have to put all those batteries in the ground and kill those trees.

    Ahhh the cycle of life will bite the ass of the hipster, recycling tree-huggers in time. :lol:

    It's true. Have a buddy who had the full TRD suspension package on his Prius, along with 17" light weight wheels and some sticky all weather tires. He used it for his daily commute from Pasadena to New Port Beach, about a 120 mile round trip. Handling went from driving a wet noodle to something along the line of a Civic Si. Still slow as molasses, but at least you could throw it around some.

    Before you slam him to much, his fun car is a 500hp plus Porsche Turbo and he just traded in his wife's Escalade on a GL63 AMG. Sometimes you just can...
