    I think the best thing I would like to see is a Prius with a semi horn. That would be fantastic and so masculine!! ;) Not to mention, hilarious!

    Got 76 mpg today doing the speed limit in town today. The mileage we get on a prius and how well it drives speaks for itself.:)

    Actually I've got quite a few positive comments on my car. The 2012 Blizzard pearl with it's black highlights, and tinted windows is actually a very sleek and nice looking car.

    I was a little concerned about my image slightly when I got my black cherry prius persona, but it got my girlfriend's seal of approval so I'm good lol. You could always add one of these to it if you feel the car isn't masculine enough:

    That doesn't make the car masculine, it makes it redneck. A prius is definitely not redneck.

    I realize that, but you also live on the west coast where things like that probably aren't something you see very often. Here in the South, you see them way too much!! They are beyond ridiculous. Believe me, the people who hang those on their trucks aren't the joking type...they are the types that refuse to neuter their dogs because they don't want them to lose their manhood.

    You must have quite a pair if you are driving a Prius amongst those cretans.

    As a straight man I'd rather get into a female car anyway.

    Yeah, if I was a guy...

    The tank would be awesome to drive. There would never be traffic. ;)

    Hell yes!!! lol
    I'll look around and see if I can find the space to mount everything. If I can, there's a seriously loud air horn going under the hood.

    I'm thinking more of a locomotives' horn. Problem is, where does one mount the compressor. The horn setup (corny) would be mounted on the roof.

    Man, oh man, just think of the looks one would get driving down the street! :LOL:
