centrider says:

This French moniker came about because, on our trip to Vancouver in '06, we relied upon the GPS heavily. The fact that at times she was quite insistent on a particular turn led me to name her so. The mileage was imported from another database, and brought up to be consistent with the the Prius' odometer. The bulk of our mileage is piled on during the summer as we cris-cross the continent traveling from one bike tour to another.

Have you changed out your ATF (HSD Fluid) yet. If not, think about doing it.
