Replying to: havalongavalon (May 02, 2005 4:35 pm) I tried this to no avail. When you copy, are you copying an image or the filename of the image? When you insert after the "Img" button, do you paste in a filename, or somehow insert an actual image? Can the image file be on my computer, or does it have to be on a website, to be accessed via a web address? If so, what website is good for this? None of this seems very obvious. Thanks. Max

Replying to: mackabee (May 02, 2005 1:19 pm) Here is a question for you: If coasting in Neutral could indeed damage the transmission, shouldn't a warning be printed in the Owner's Manual? I saw no such warning. Now a comment, and a more general question for anyone: What I am looking for is a feature that will allow you, when driving on largely ondulated terrain, to save gas by "coasting" down the hills. Remembering physics 101, you expend energy to climb a hill and while climbing you accumulate potential energy that then converts into kinetic energy (motion) as you descend again. But while in Drive, the engine is engaged and this tends to slow down the descent and uses up some gas. I'm thinking of a "free-wheel" feature such as in a bicycle -- when you stop pedaling, you coast freely, and when you start pedaling you re-engage and "drive" the rear wheel again. As I recall, early Saabs designed and made by the Swedish fighter jet manufacturing company had a true "free-wheel"capability. Is such feature available in any car with automatic transmission, nowadays? Thanks again, havalongavalon |

Replying to: y_althani (May 01, 2005 11:24 pm) All minor faults, and many of them are just opinions about appearance, options that are/aren't available. Read the posts on this forum. You'll see that others have found little or nothing to complain about. Regards, Deanie

Replying to: bushka (May 02, 2005 6:41 pm) "I am currently offering the Toyota Platinum 7 yr / 100,000 mile Extra Care plan w/ 0 deductible for $985.00 on the Avalon, which is the longest plan available in both mileage and years. Most of the details on the Extra Care plans can be found directly at their website at the following link, including all the various terms and options available, just let me know if you would like a quote on a different plan. http://www.toyotafinancial.com/pyv/extended_service_coverage/n_index.html Here are the purchase instructions if / when you decide to purchase..." Looks authentic to me. If I were Greenfield, I'd be very worried of legal or civil ramifications if such a claim were not true. Greg |

Thanks to havalongavalon for describing how to insert photo file. This is a picture of the small Terk XM antenna, installed just underneath the windshield. Almost invisible, and reception is fine. See posts 4682 & 4718 if you want more info. Max

Replying to: havalongavalon (May 02, 2005 4:43 pm) Thanks. I suppose it takes folks like us to look past these stereotypes and know engineering excellence when we see it. The Prius is really loaded with complex new technology and is a hot seller, so I was shocked to read about the occasional but very serious, potentially very dangerous and expensive failures that are reported there. Whoa, this is troubling. What are these failures? Could you post some links to articles where you have read about such failures?

At the upper right hand corner is the Toyota Financial Services logo. At the bottom is this statement: "Toyota Financial Services is a service mark of Toyota Motor Insurance Services, Inc." johni
