Since I know at least a few of you thought this was amusing I thought I'd post a quick update to the website, including a short video clip of our brave Prius owner Paula -- to watch her video click on her head.....

We recently got a very generous donation to the site -- we're on our way!
...yes, you still need flash to view the site...

Cool

Paula is the best part of your site. I'll bet $20 that she won't let you blow up her cute Prius.

My "Crush A Hummer" seemed like it would be more successful. I decided it would be pointless since GM would just make more.

Of course, now that they've ceased production...

I think you'd be surprised how UN-attached someone can get to their car when presented with a briefcase filled with $30K cash

I'd be happy to vouch for that with my Prius and a briefcase filled with 20K cash.

They should take 30 seconds and educate themselves on the correct way to use a speed square.

Funny site.

So, is $30K all it takes to get Paula's car? Why not buy a used car for $2K and blow that up?

Well, to be honest it's just not as funny to blow up a random used car. Something about watching a Prius fly off a ramp and explode is way more entertaining....at least to us....and as far as we know nobody has ever blown up a Prius. We need to break new ground in the field of car explosions.

Also, for those unable to view the site for whatever reason, here's the direct link to Paula's video:

I have to agree with bagwell. Why don't you guys blow up something like a Hummer? Get one of those off the road is way better than getting a Prius off the road.
