Not much going on with the Prius lately. Although it did reach a milestone (200k miles). And I think the other front wheel bearing is going bad.



On a side note, I think the next eco-mod will be a belly pan. My local Home Depot sells coroplast in 4x8 foot sheets. Last time I was under the car, I saw lots of existing screw holes that can be used to mount it. That'll make the job easier.

That said, I got some polycarbonate windows (aka Lexan) for the BMW. So we're going to install those first.

Another side note: The weather here in Florida has been unusually mild. Normally, daytime temperatures would be in the mid 90s by now. And I'd be running the a/c all the time. But we've only had a few days where the temperature reached 90 degrees. So I've been using the a/c intermittently. As a result, the fuel economy has been outstanding. Actually, last week was the best fillup to date, with almost 68 mpg!
