I chose a Prius when we bought our last car in 2006. It gets 45-55 miles per gallon, is dependable and has all the comfort features. We wanted to deprive the oil producing nations that hate us of as much income as possible.
We like the Prius and we will like it even more when Obama gets his way and gas gets up around $7 a gallon.
I guess the thieves are smarter than I thought...
“They dont steal them as much because they might be thinking theyre just oversized golf carts.”
Yea, I think you’re on to something. Even thieves have a code of honor, and they know that they may get caught some day. I think they simply dread the conversation:
“what you in for?”
“Grand Theft, Auto”
“Cool, what’d you nab”
“A Prius...”
Pretty much assures that he’ll be the bitch of the block.
It’s true. They are cool cars and I’m always surprised how they get trashed by FReepers.
I wonder how many folks here have driven one. They’re fast and quiet. Excellent engineering, quite the opposite of the GM battery cr*p.
I have an ungodly commute and I bought a Prius almost a year ago to offset the gas prices, which were bankrupting me. I LOVE THIS CAR!!! It is the best car I’ve ever owned, and even with the huge amount of driving I do, I rarely go to the gas station. Love it! Go Prius! :-D
“I wonder how many folks have driven one”
Great question, maybe the critics can answer?
The reputation of the car with the owner ranks is quite excellent.
From the link:
Soon, Rucy Jason pulled up in a 2005 silver Prius plastered with a dozen-odd stickers, including three calling for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
According to ZabaSearch, there is a 67-year-old Rucy Jason living in Fort Lauderdale. So much for fuzzing tag numbers, LOL!
