    Was hit the other night by a SUV that ran a red light. Took off a large corner of my left fender. I was barely moving when I got hit. The Prius spun the other car around in a 180 degree turn almost knocking it over. The Prius barely moved when it got hit plus I found out today the other vehicle was totaled. :D

    Prii are obviously a menace to other vehicles on the road and must be banned.

    No they're just tired of all the bashing and are fighting back... One SUV at a time...

    This is not the first time I've heard about how well Prii are handling collisions. Really happy to hear it. Glad you survived to tell the tale.

    Maybe the owner of the SUV will go buy a Prius with the little money they get from their insurance company for the total. We can only hope...

    I was stopped at a light and the F250 in front did not move so I beeped the horn. No response, so I went around the truck. When I did he punched it and so did I. Well believe it or not I beat him to the merge. At the next light I put my window down and told him that my Prius just kicked your nice person. After he said a bunch of stuff to me I told him that If I were him I would go home and just live with the humiliation of having a Prius beat you. :)
