Nah that’s just the Sam Spade guy.
If your tire is worn he goes into a rage that you will crash into his house and light on fire.
If your car burns a lot of oil and isn’t worth fixing likewise it’s going to start a fire and crash into his house and you should be thrown in prison.
Literally anything non-OEM is going to crash into his house and light on fire
Guys been temporarily banned a few times.
Maybe he has had cars crash into his house and light on fire but it’s a common theme with him.
Perhaps we invite him here could be a fun experience.
My take on converting a car that is still good running and valuable is also somewhat negative as the financials are hard to work out.
I gave some helpful links as doing an OEM Prius conversion is much more possible today but unless you are extremely bright there are trolls camping on certain aspects of the “openinverter” that can drive up the cost a lot.
In his situation and region with limited funds I would tend to fall in the it’s not really worth it.
It’s a thing you do for fun and learning with a backup plan to your only car and obviously enough money to spend that such an endeavor isn’t going to cause life issues
