Saturday

Some garbage flew up off the road & ruined my AC condenser. All back ordered. Thankfully, gs found a really nice Jspanese made one on ebay. Arrived today.

I literally cannot breathe in the extreme heat & 100% humidity here, so it's essential.

Nive that dealership lets you source your own parts. Most won't.

Hoping your Prius holds up! At least it sounds like it was made long enough ago to be a quality build! I'd hang on to it if I were you.

My baby is an 05 Civic. 😊
