    The 289,000 Prius did great....until they blew the engine up on the race track - they should have checked the oil!



    Have to tip your hat to the Prius, door works after being smashed by a tank.

    Wonder how many miles on the Gremlin... I'm guessing about half what the Prius had. No way a Gremlin could go 289,000 miles.

    I agree 100%. No way.

    I think Frieberger was surprised at the performance and mileage of the Prius.

    And I bet if they had checked the oil before the event the Prius would have made it.

    I agree! As a muscle car guy I always enjoy Roadkill, I didn't see it in here and thought I'd share - particularly since the Prius fared so well against the Gremlin.

    That roll race was just sad for the Gremlin...let's be clear, our Prius isn't exactly the king of the highway and it left the Gremlin like it was on bricks..:LOL:
