Is/are there any Buffista(s) who own(s) a current-generation Prius?
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am no longer a Morlock. I have been moved back up into the light. My cubicle is 3/4 unpacked. And covered in dust. I am tired and cranky and ready to go home now. And eventually I will need to figure out where the bathroom is on this floor.

A friend of mine is out of town for 8 or 9 days - I promised her I'd drive her Prius during that time so the battery wouldn't go dead during that time. But now we're supposed to get 6-8 inches of snow tonight, so I don't relish the thought of digging her car out and driving it around and then finding a place to park if I don't have to.
So, is there a way I can check how much of a charge the battery has without starting the engine and driving it around? (I think the engine doesn't actually start until the car is moving.) Like, can't I boot up the car and check somehow on the LCD display thingie how much of a charge the battery has? 'Cuz I'm guessing odds are the car won't even need to be driven in order to maintain enough charge for the 8-ish days....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ah, so everyone is icked, rather than gronked. Or mostly icked.
I'm ready for it to be lunchtime now.

Me too! Mostly because I have a delicious homemade meatball sandwich. Mmm. But I gotta get through yoga first.

Tommy, I have left the car without driving it for two weeks and not had any problem with the battery. If you want to make sure, just drive it once before she gets back.
In terms of checking it, though, the engine is on as soon as you turn the car on, it's just silent because it initially runs off of the electric part of the engine. You can push the "info" button on the steering wheel (you may need to push it twice) to see how much charge the battery has.
But seriously, I don't think you should sweat it too much.

I also have actual food! Though I'm kind of jealous of your sandwich now. But I have orzo with ground turkey, arugula, feta cheese, and dried cranberries.
