For example, one guy said that Prius is not rated at PZEV, but that it was ULEV! |

If you don't want your car keyed, park it at the library! The article mentioned "Dingo and Digby". Where have I heard those names before? |

My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #3 Touring Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Re: Prius owners get the last laugh as gas prices rise A year ago my wife and I were beginning to look at something to replace her minivan. When she mentioned the Prius, I told her I thought it was one of the ugliest cars on the road. Early this year, I was starting to warm up to the technology (I am an engineer by trade) but still wasn't sure about the look. Two things happened. I learned that the coefficient of drag was around .26 which appealed to the engineer in me. More importantly, however, was my oldest son who convince me that it was supposed to look different and that actually it looks very cool. I spent his entire life teaching him about not succumbing to peer pressure. I guess I didn't learn what I was trying to teach. By the way, my wife and I know ugly. When we were married, she brought her 1971 Gremlin with her
