Given the title I was hoping for crash pics.

Ah, the Prius. It just screams, "I'm a vegan weenie!"

Note that the damage was done by a *motorcycle*. If the pilot was wearing a helmet and didn't get hit by other traffic after ejection, he's probably OK.
The car driver almost certainly has to be dead.

I own an H2, and I will run over any Prius that gets in my way.

OMG! I'm going to go out and kiss my sturdy, heavy, four-door sedan right this minute. A motorcycle did that much damage? Cripes.
Another thing...why do they only do crash tests at like 35 MPH? Do most crashes really happen at theat low of a speed? That seems odd to me. Never did understand that.

I always thought it screamed "run me over with your Jeep".

The vast majority of crashes do happen at or below that speed. The ones that make the news (the messy, nasty, ugly high speed ones) are fewer in number but get more press. Kind of like how the MSM treats shooting incidents with guns - if it was justifiable, then it won't make the news, but if it was illegal nine-ways-to-Sunday for the guy to own a gun *before* he shot up the 7-11 it'll make the national news.

The sick part is that after replacing the forks, triple tree, control clusters and instruments, maybe the exhaust headers and a little bodywork, the bike is probably still just fine. I'd want to check the welds on the frame head, though.

I'd settle for a Hummer inside a Prius. I hope the seats fold back.

The whole thing is stupid... the premium people pay to get a Hybrid pretty much wipes out the savings from the improved mileage.
I have my eye on the Accord Hybrid... goes 0 to 60 in 6 seconds.

But with gas prices inching toward $2.50 this summer, the Toyota Prius is the hot ride in the Madison area
Hey, lesbians need cars too.

My lesbian friend drives a Ferrari.
My other one drives an Excursion with a GreaseCar kit.
Your point? ;)

"
...only mass-produced cars that can demand $1,000 or more -- used -- than its original price.
Joanne McCann just bought her second Prius and wants to sell her first one.
'I paid a little over $20,000 for the car in '01, and I'm selling it for $15,000..."Somehow the math here ain't quite right. Oh, I forgot, here in madison, they have outcome-based eddycation so that anything pretty much equals anything else...as long as it make you feel good.
I recall reading something in one of Rush's newsletters that prius-owners were ticked because their milage was any better than a regular cars.
