Does the Size of Your Prius Matter?

Boy, there's a topic: logging trucks! I lived in WA where the only main road nearby is 101. Logging trucks ran that road like crazy from way-western WA (Neah Bay/Forks) inland towards Port Angeles and Sequim, where I was. Those guys would suddenly loom up big in your mirror and scare hell out of you. They knew how to ride a foot from your rear bumper.
I almost miss 'em. Do they do that in Montana?

Heh, well luckily they don't do that too often. We have quite a few on the roads and the drivers are pretty good here. Still, it's easy to imagine all those logs just rolling off the side and if that happened you'd be squashed like a bug even if you were driving a Hummer. I go out of my way to give them PLENTY of room.

 

After 183,000 miles in a Honda Civic in the last 6 years, the Prius is much more comfortable with ample space.
