I actually like Priuses. You just can't look at them the same way you look at other cars. They're only a form of transportation, nothing further at all. Use it to get you from point A to B, and save millions in the mean time.
I mean it. It costs like $25 to fill up my sister's Prius. It costs like $70 to fill my tank. My sister and I fill our cars up once every two weeks. Over just a month, she saves $90 over what I spend on gas.
"They're only a form of transportation, nothing further at all." Is my whole issue with them. For someone who doesn't give crap about what they drive, sure get a Prius. IMO though, the $50 extra at the pump is worth it as long as I have something cool.
I get the best of both worlds. My dad operated a big construction company, and he drove american cars his whole life. Being that his major client was Chrysler, he had to drive their product. Now that hes retired, these are our first two made-in Japan vehicles.
btw if u drive a dodge ur compensating for a small richard and stuffy driving habits.
My dad had an escalade, he leased one every two years. the 2008 model, when you turn with the window open, all the water condensation stuff will flow off the roof, into the window, on your shirt.
