Possible Partial Trade. This 2012 PRIUS has been our personal vehicle since new in November, 2012. Most of the miles have been put on traveling between Florida and Illinois. The only reason we're selling this vehicle is we needed a larger vehicle to make the trip, as we're still in business and need to carry lots of miscellaneous everywhere we go. We would consider a trade for a nice 2003 - 2005 Toyota Rav 4 or, say an Impala LTZ. We'll still need to keep a vehicle in Florida year round. About the car; There was some very light hail damage we occured while at Church one day. It was repaired without having to repaint anything. The mileage will vary, depending on the outside temperature, weight load, and wind direction. If we lived in the south year round I would think the mileage would range between 42 to 50 miles per gallon, depending on the stated variables. In Illinois the mileage can range from 45 down to as low as 37 miles per gallon.The HEATED SEATS are a welcome option when we're in the north. That being said this car has never seen snow. The synthetic oil only has to be changed every 10,000 miles!! That's the manufacture's suggestion! We have driven the car 6.600 miles on this oil change, and the dip stick is STILL more than 1/2 way between full and add!! We have reservations about selling this car, as it's never given us a problem. Well, we did take it to the dealer about a noise, which turned out to be a piece of unwanted paper hitting a cooling fan. This car is as good as a used car gets. If you're looking for a brand new car then go buy a brand new car. If you're looking for a like new used car for about 2/3 the new price AND UNBELIEVABLE MILEAGE, then go for this one. There's a ton of Prius "V"s out there with over 200,000 miles. This one is barely broken in! It's still full of factory warranties!! We still get groceries, etc with the car, so the mileage may have up to, but not over a few hundred miles on it. If sold it will not be driven again and cleaned up as shown for the next proud owner. Any questions, wanting to see the car, or trade offers please contact me thru Ebay, or call Tom at 217-306-2821. The car is in St Pete Beach, Florida; 33706. Thanks for looking!

Everybody's doing flying cars, so why aren't we soaring over traffic already?

Mon, Oct 1 2018

"Where's my flying car?" has been the meme for impending technology that never materializes since before there were memes. And the trough of disillusionment for vehicles that can take to sky continues to nosedive, despite a nonstop fascination with flying cars and a recent rash of announcements about the technology, particularly from traditional automakers. Earlier this month, Toyota applied for an eye-popping patent for a flying car that has wheels with spring-loaded pop-out helicopter rotors. The patent filing says the wheels/rotors would be electrically powered, while in on-land mode the vehicle would have differential steering like tracked vehicles such as tanks and bulldozers. At an airshow in July, Aston Martin unveiled its Volante Vision Concept, an autonomous hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle it developed with Rolls-Royce. Aston says the Volante can fly at top speeds of around 200 mph and bills it as a luxury car for the skies. Audi used the Geneva Motor Show in March to unveil a flying car concept called the Pop.Up Next it developed with Airbus and Italdesign. If the Pop.Up Next, an electric and autonomous quadcopter/city car combo, gets stuck in traffic, an app can be used to summon an Airbus-developed drone to pick up the passenger compartment pod, leaving the chassis behind. Audi said that the Pop.Up Next is a "flexible on-demand concept that could open up mobility in the third dimension to people in cities." But Audi also acknowledged that at this point it has no plans to develop it. The cash-stoked, skies-the-limit Silicon Valley tech crowd is also bullish on flying cars. The startup Kitty Hawk that's backed by Google co-founder Larry Page announced in June that it's taking pre-orders for its single-seat electric Flyer that's powered by 10 propellers and is capable of vertical takeoffs and landings. The current version can only fly up to 20 mph and 10 feet in the air and has a flight time of just 12 to 20 minutes on a full charge. The Flyer is considered a recreational vehicle, so doesn't require a pilot's license. Uber says it plans to launch its more ambitious Elevate program and UberAIR service in 2023. "Uber customers will be able to push a button and get a flight on-demand with uberAIR in Dallas, Los Angeles and a third international market," Uber Elevate promises on its website.

Toyota sudden acceleration class action may cover 22 million owners

Thu, 16 May 2013

A total of 22.6 million current and former Toyota owners have been sent notices that they may be eligible to receive compensation from the automaker for damages related to the unintended acceleration fiasco that has dominated headlines in 2009 and 2010. The total payout may be as high as $1.63 billion, according to The Detroit News.
Steve Berman, a lawyer for the owners, calls the potential deal "a landmark, if not a record, settlement in automobile defects class action litigation in the United States." Still, there's some debate about whether or not Toyota's proposed settlement is fair, as it includes $30 million for safety research and driver education programs - in other words, Toyota seems to be suggesting that drivers need more education on how to drive their correctly working and fully functional vehicles. For those keeping track, Toyota would also be paying lawyer fees of $200 million.
A US District Judge in California is scheduled to hold a so-called "fairness hearing" on June 14 that could decide the fate of this particular settlement. Further courtroom wrangling will be required to hash out any wrongful death suits levied against Toyota stemming from unintended acceleration claims, as those are not part of this class-action suit.
