250k Mile Prius

Jeffrey discovered us while delivering packages for our neighbors across the street, a halfway house for Hewlett-Packard computer parts. (Actually I introduced myself, as I tend to do when hybrids stop in our vicinity.) He drives 5,000 every two weeks as a courier, and when we met he already had 245k on the cluster of his 05 Prius and swore that he had only ever serviced the oil and the transmission fluid. This picture was taken during his 255k Vitals service yesterday (LG is now his primary service provider). Upcoming blogs will chronicle the trials and feats of this *extraordinarily* low maintenance, economical vehicle.
