Once on Graveyard Cars they were starting a hemi dual quad for the first time after rebuild. When it fired they said "Every time one of these start, a Prius dies". I bet I laughed for 30 minutes after hearing that.
When ever you hear the sound of those fart can mufflers on a Japanese car, Just Think: it just had the "crap" scared out of it after hearing a MOPAR go by!
The Prius is certainly one ugly car and I would never want to drive or own one. That said, you guys have the wrong idea about them. We can thank them and their drivers, at least in part, for keeping our demand for oil low and the price of gas cheap. It is almost down to $2 a gallon here in CT.
