    Hi guys,

    I'm a long time reader/first time poster. I've been thinking about trading my car in for a '07 Prius. I just want to know that if I get one...that I won't be making a mistake. I'm all about the environment ya know. My car right now is a 2004 Pontiac GTO it makes about 465 rwhp. I love the car but I just feel so guility every time my tires spin...and then they spin going into 2nd...and then into 3rd. I just want to help the environment! I also don't have catlytic convertors on my car. I just want to help preserve the environment so I only buy 110 race gas. Can you guys help me out?? Thanks!!

    Nate

    I'm gonna approach your post with caution.

    You wanna give more information about yourself or at least the things you're looking for in the Prius (or other hybrid)?

    Sorry if I'm being sceptical but your post doesn't sound convincing.

    With the no cats and race gas comments you're coming off as a lonely troll. Since dealers can't GIVE gto's away, you'd probably lose on a trade anyway so you might have to keep it.
    Ever think about how much gas guzzling supports terrorists?

    Keep the "Goat." You'd never be happy in a Prius. If you're "all about the environment" like you say take your recycling efforts to the next level. Start another bigger and better compost pile. And as seed for it start with that first post. Gas, Tires and Oil? Yeah baby!!! In the meantime get a real goat and toss the lawnmower.......... Once you learn to love the smell of burning rubber in the morning you never really outgrow it. ;) Do you?
    Peace,
    Paul

    Hi Nate,

    Why don't you test drive a Prius a couple of time and see if it suits your needs. That's the best way I believe.
