    For newbies and oldbies alike. Not that I hit the front end, but pulled into a KFC parking spot, front end less than 1 foot from curb in front. Kneel down, holy smacks that front end would have connected.

    Prius front end is a mere 7 inches off the ground. Coming from a 4WD Toyo truck, Prius is a whole different animal. :eek:

    I feel your pain. We just got our 2009 Prius. Our driveway has a dip down to the street (for water drainage) and the front end hits if you don't angle the car out. 7 inches is not much clearance - so word to the wise!
