After 4 years of enjoying my 8 sadly I have had to let it go. Too many quirky problems and the gas mileage is impractical. I will miss it but i am getting to old to drive a sports car anymore.

With all the incentives Toyota is offering I got a great deal on a 2010 Prius. I look forward to the slow 0-60 and just puttering along knowing I now have a safe means of transportation and am leaving a smaller carbon foot print. I plan to drive it out to the park and hug a few trees.

here is a pic

I was like WTF are you kidding me you can't use Ride and Prius in the same sentence. I hate that f-ing car. There are literally like 20 people with them where I work. I want to fire bomb all of them.

I do love the Prius drivers who talk about their "carbon footprint".. I always ask them what they plan on doing with the battery when they're done with the car.


and yes, i was almost fooled by the first post.. but the pic blew it
