A triangular and car with icon appears on the screen

Your original comment was "Hate toy cars with a toy cars dash display. Any car that ditches gauges in favor a warning to take it to the dealer is all BS."

No comment on the content is necessary.

Actually, he waited to plonk you until you proved beyond any doubt that you are an obnoxious asshole who has nothing of substance to contribute. He may have been wrong about you being a troll, but you are definitely a jerk.

You didn't ask a question about the dash; you whined about it, dipshit.

You posted a question about the dash? To THIS newsgroup? Funny, all any of us have seen was the one with the subject line "Prius dash display: made for morons on AOL" and the text "Hate toy cars with a toy cars dash display. Any car that ditches gauges in favor a warning to take it to the dealer is all BS."

I, for one, don't see a question in there.

They are no "standard" gauges on the Prius dash. If you require those to be able to drive a car then you're out of luck with your Prius.

What kind of idiot buys a car that doesn't have a feature that's so obviously important to him? Did you actually buy your Prius without knowing what the dash looks like?

Right. Connecting a scanner will give him a hell of a lot more information than, for example, a tachometer. Besides, the gauges, there all the time, are generally ignored until the associated warning lamp lights.

You changed your sig to bypass my killfile: that makes it clear you are a troll.

You are, by your own posts, an incompetent or a liar about what nobody would believe. Either way that makes you more stupid than the average troll.

Exceptionally stupid troll. I am very honored, though, by your disapproval.

Good point. I've seen occasional wishes for oil pressure guages or voltmeters in the Prius, but I'd expect those to be too alarming (my oil pressure has been zero for a minute now!) or too boring ("still 13.4 volts"). The real question revolves around what we need to know when operating the vehicle, since we don't have to worry about the alternator failing or the belt slipping. I don't think the final chapter has been written on that yet, not by a long shot.

Look at it this way: a troll must be born when an angry fool like you replies. It's a retroactive thing.

Yet another chance to use this observation:

"Look at it this way: a troll must be born when an angry fool like you replies. It's a retroactive thing."

And thrice: "Look at it this way: a troll must be born when an angry fool like you replies. It's a retroactive thing."

PLONK!

And yet you have an unbalanced compulsion to fail to answer a question that you yourself claims does not exist. You really need to work on your reading comprehension, take your meds, get your money back from your psychiatrist, etc., etc., etc. Perhaps you are the kind of person who has no gauges and every once in a while a little alarm goes off and you must be carted off by the men in white? Perhaps?

What an ugly man she is.

Wow. You can talk about a subject after all.

Uh, you misspelled gauges. Back at ya, Einstein.

Well, gauges would make sense if there was something the owner could do if he or she saw something they could take care of on their own. But I think for the most part considering only a few selected mechanics get to go through special training for this hybrid says a lot. Don't you think? Almost everyone from autobody to emergency personnel have to get special training before attempting to do what they normally do. I've had to warn customs about poking and prodding their way in the trunk.

I'm not taking sides here but I can see why others think you don't own a Prius. I too have my doubt. Sorry.
