At least it was a silver one. Couldn't have happened to a better colour. Can't abide silver.

Perhaps the driver was looking down trying to figure out why their radio reception was so bad. Little did he know that the anteana fell off. And then, trying to figure out how the steering wheel got installed on the wrong side of the vehicle (and why he never noticed before) he couldn't find the MFD with his normal, right hand. I'm sure he tried to brake, but this might not have worked since his wheels are all wrong.

In the end, this was just an accident waiting to happen.

Just lucky he didn't get rear-ended since it appears his taillight is missing.

Of course! That's because Toyota wanted their best color for the photo. :P

How can you say that! :cry: My baby. You are cruel. Bell shuttered to see such pictures a Prius giving its all to protect its Passengers as any good Prius should. Shame on you.
