autospeed article
Not to whine, but I kinda like the old way of showing urls better...
That's a Gen 1 Prius, built up to the 2004 model year. It was different in several aspects, so I don't know if it had a "turtle" light or not (the new one does not.) In one part, he mentions that the hybrid system on that model worked seamlessly with the supercharger, just charging the batteries more than usual. He's certainly miles ahead of me in terms of mechanical skill!
