Well it is all sold now, car, trailer and truck.

Replaced the truck with a complete opposite vehicle though still is red (called "Absolutely Red")

I could probably run a full season of Street ET for the cost of a weekend of Vette racing with this.\....course won't be as fun


Just your basic Prius C

Crickets Chirping.......



Good luck with the "Clown Car".........I guess that's what the letter "C" stands for in the Prius C?

It sux, but I understand. Good luck with the new Prius. They suck to drive, but cost nothing to own.
I bought a new honda insight 3 years ago, 95000 miles later, still gets the same mileage. 43-45. No matter how I drive it.

But,
It's noisy as hell, handles like crap, brakes suck, stereo is useless, a/c doesn't work good unless your doing over 15 mph, seat isn't very comfortable, and it looks like a hybrid! Other than that, it's awesome!

I would have bought the Prius c when I bought my honda, but it wasn't made, and a regular Prius is not cheap.
Good luck with it bud! Lets line em at the next import showdown!
