On numerous occasions I've turned off my climate control system in favor of
cooling/heating with outside air. Knowing the outside air temperature is
necessary to this value judgment.

Um, I don't need a heated garage in Phoenix, especially this time of
year. Furthermore, only half the time I get into the car is it in the
garage.

So, then, you don't know what you are talking about do you?

yes, you are.
But how does that translate into your statement that I "know very little
about the Prius"?
Fact: you're an idiot who thinks it's perfectly reasonable to have to
know the outside temperature from a gauge before rolling down the car
window.
You probably also want the clock to designate AM and PM.
Fact: I've forgotten more about the Prius than you'll ever know.

Think about it. You know nothing of me but you write that. Is it true? Is
it not? It doesn't matter because you write of something you can't possibly
know and you do so with great conviction. You are, therefore, a moron.
