Today, after 10 lessons, I realized cars can move on engaging the first gear without the accelerator. It was a eureka moment for me. I smiled, slightly amused. I was scolded for driving too fast when I suppose to go really really slow.
I still can’t listen to the instructor and drive normally. A couple of times I felt like telling him to be silent for 2 minutes.
Another interesting feature I discovered is that you can get the air con to cool your legs. It makes me happy when I get cold feet.
Oh this is so cool, Prius powered by the sun!
Toyota to add solar panels to Prius hybrid: Nikkei
TOKYO (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) plans to install solar panels on its next-generation Prius hybrid cars, becoming the first major automaker to use solar power for a vehicle, the Nikkei business daily reported on Monday.
The paper said Toyota would equip solar panels on the roof of the high-end version of the Prius when it redesigns the gasoline-electric hybrid car early next year, and the power generated by the system would be used for the air conditioning.
Toyota plans to use solar panels made by Kyocera Corp (6971.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the Nikkei said.
Toyota remodeled the Prius with an improved hybrid system in 2003 and is expected to launch a third-generation version by next year. (Source: Reuters)
It’s great that car manufacturers are innovating in the area of energy conservation. Costs savings and a better environment I hope!

This book doesn’t work. I’ve tried the “praying” method to get a new Porsche 996 delivered but to no avail. There’s nothing in the instructions about not wanting German sports cars but I tried praying for less ambitious things. I gave up when it didn’t even get me a Big Mac. In the early part there’s a bit about people crossing the desert and being sustained by manna from heaven, so you’d think that it would be able to manage at least a hamburger.
I’m disappointed and will contact the publisher. In the meantime I can’t recommend this book as it is clearly faulty.
Got one star out of five. Hope he gets a refund even though books in generally don’t come with a money-back-guarantee.
