Also, this sounds like the coolest job in the world! Sign me up and call me whatever title you want!

when the seasons rolls around, you know where whiskers is? I think I need to buy you an adult beverage. My thoughts are it would be a good time. Spyker Jr and Dog jr can hang in the corner
Hi Dunke! It would be great to meet you (and the other wonderful people from this list)! Unfortunately I live in California. But if I ever do come East, or if you ever come to the Bay Area, e.g., to watch the team at Stanford ...when the seasons rolls around, you know where whiskers is? I think I need to buy you an adult beverage. My thoughts are it would be a good time. Spyker Jr and Dog jr can hang in the corner
I want to say that it feels really, really great to have you and @JtotheP and other people I admire be supportive of me and my corny posts, even though I don't know much compared to you guys. It's just another case where the wrestling brotherhood comes to the rescue. The last forum I was posting to before this one was a parent's forum, with mostly moms, and *every* little joke I made, someone was sure to become personally offended, and the moderators kept coming down on me. One of the moms who was nice finally explained to me that I had been "girled". That's when it clicked that I was used to a fraternity, where the people cared about you, but that list was a stereotypical sorority, where the people cared about conformity. Anyhow, I really appreciate this group here, even though I show my appreciation by SPAMming it a little too much with nonsense.

Didn't take it as an insult, just sharing more info. The folks "behind-the-scenes" are an integral part of Penn State's success, and except for Coach's comments at fan gatherings, they get little public recognition.
I know I'm just a noob here, but I find your posts entertaining. I love a board that has great info, but also knows how to keep it "light".
Is that the Bar at the NLI? I used to work there back when they were still trying to come up with a name for it. Some of the ideas that my fellow employees wrote in to the suggestion box were...uhhhhh...colorful.when the seasons rolls around, you know where whiskers is?

You should have your son google that and then explain what it means, along with SULEV. Some really interesting technology that cuts way back on emissions from cars. My Prius gets about double the gas mileage of a normal car which cuts back on emissions by half. Being SULEV then cuts it to about 1/10 per gallon burned for a total of only 1/20 the amount of emissions of a normal compact car.
My Nissan 1 ton pickup truck has zero emissions for 23 hours of the day. I'd say that this is "nearly zero emissions" from a percentage use standard. My wife's Prius burns a quart of oil every 2000 miles. A pretty standard "flaw" in Toyota's design. We'll never buy another Prius, but to each their own. At least it burns oil, and doesn't leak on my driveway and garage. She drives it 2 hours per day, so I'm guessing her emissions footprint is about equal to mine per day (and I can carry more than 2 gallons of milk with t he truck)

I'm on my 2nd Pruis so I have owned one since May 2003 and never once had to put oil in either one. Sounds like you got a lemon.
That's what I thought, but googled "toyota prius burns oil" and you see tons of 1 quart/1000 mile issues. Now, we have 100k miles on it, so maybe your two are Cherries. I truly believe it is a design flaw. No problem. As I said. To each their own
Googled it and it looks like it is fairly common. I couldn't find anything that shows what percentage of Prius's have this problem. Current car is only 14 months old so hopefully this problem does not come up for me. Sorry it did for you. 1 quart every 1,000 miles is a lot although the cost is pretty minimal, but very worrisome as I would be checking my oil at least once a week just to be sure.

He's thorough. Probably the reason his cars don't burn oil. Gotta love it!Googled the same subject twice, NoVa??
Plus, he is able to get twice as many "likes" from me
South Bay. 408 area code. Are you in CA too?
Thank you for saving the Earth, BTW!
Thorough and tried to post once unsuccessfully I thought so I did it again. I didn't even get Roar's post because I didn't notice I did that.
He's making up for Spyker's Google shortfalls.Googled the same subject twice, NoVa??
He's apparently on two different devices today, so that might explain it.Googled the same subject twice, NoVa??
Two devices is correct...one was his computer, the other his telephone...he called asking me why I posted what I did. After pointing out the two posts, we both had a good laugh
