My Toyota hybrid had a fire warning. My HMG ev didnt.

Before and after, unchanged. I've been under the care and nothing seems worn or loose.

This is why I have a garage that is 50ft from my house. ICE and EV can burn. Why park a vessel full of inflammable liquid under or beside my bed? Why stuff a bunch of batteries there?

Its actually 8.24s 0-60, 1/4 mile [email protected]. Slow, but not abysmal. Half mile was 25.0X@107, lol! Rear disk, and maybe. I can feel the smack and grind both in the pass floorboard, but nothing is hitting it. Super odd.

I've slowly gone through all of the things needed to restore the vehicle to proper function. I installed the rods and linkages to get the rear two doors and locks operating ($100), and fixed the seat track attachment ($50), installed new police rated OEM shocks/struts/sway bar end links ($1,200...

They're all over.

Ummm...what vehicle does Toyota make that's awesome?

Having owned gas powered V8 cars and EVs, lol.

I want a disinterested 3rd party with solid medical to decide when to cease efforts regarding my DNR status. DNR is quick and dirty, but I want someone who understands nuance before I ever code. That is going to be a very tricky aspect, as my long term girlfriend is very very anti DNR, and I am...

I've got some super cool niche stuff, personally. That I want to just...go missing quietly, when the time comes.

As I get ready to leave middle age in the rear view mirror, I realize when I die, especially if it were soonish and sudden, what I left behind would be a mess. My mother died last year, and was incredibly organized, down to having an envelope full of money for her own funeral as well as having...
