That is the best use I've seen for a Prius - a drivable LSX engine stand!

That's a Prius I'd actually drive to work!

Interesting that they added an aluminum driveshaft, but didn't mention whether or not any updates were made to the rear end. Hmmmm.

I'm going to assume the rear end was upgraded, since otherwise there would be no differential back there on a FWD car!

I bet some treehuggers heads are spinning.

I guess you really can polish a turd.

You know the car still has the Hy bird drive also. Dam I wonder if I can put a Flex Fuel badges on it too!

LMAO... I usually enjoy it when a Prius pulls up next to me and turns his nose up at my loud, lopey cammed camaro.. I usually look over at them before the light turns green and say something along the lines of "Thanks for offsetting my carbon footprint!"
I don't think they find it nearly as amusing as I do.

I think it's a Prius conspiracy to remove us and our fuel guzzling monsters (or so they think). I had one viciously attack the back of my tow rig at a light a few months ago. She had stopped (I usually watch traffic behind me to make sure I'm not about to get smacked by someone) and I was just waiting on a green when I felt a "thump". It actually felt like when your foot slips off of the clutch in a manual and you have the brakes on. I laughed and thought that I hadn't done that in a while...reached up to start the engine (and the starter didn't engage) and then noticed the tach hovering at 600 rpm or so. I also remembered that my truck happens to be an automatic. I looked in the right side mirror and didn't see anything. I looked in the rear view mirror and didn't see anything. I then looked in the drivers side mirror and I see a prius headlight just sticking out past the rear fender. We pulled over and hopped out and she explained that her foot slipped off of the brake. It wiped some dirt off of my monster 12,000 lb drawbar and left a hitch ball shaped hole punched in her bumper cover. She said it was obviously her fault, we shook hands and went on our way.
I think she was really just sucked in by the gravitational pull of my personal battle cruiser.

She was well dressed in a buisness suit and a nice over coat. It was quite cold that day and I'm guessing she was reasonably older than me (might have been just perfect for you Mitch...

).
I can't get hit by dental hygenists all the time...(remember the old thread with the firebird and the blonde Megan who hit me?, it's here somewhere).
