    This was all over our local news, being in Missouri. I stay at that Hyatt, and valet, every time we go up for a St. Louis Cardinals game...at least I know they didn't do any burn outs with my Prius!

    Can the prius actually do burnouts? I am not really sure of the mechanics behind the wheels spinning, but if you can't spin in a snow drift then how could you spin on water?

    Nobody said anything about it being successful.

    They might have tried, but they were sorely disappointed!

    If I caught an asshat doing that to any vehicle of mine, I'd turn them into Soylent Green

    While they were still alive

    Reason why I dont let anyone drive my car other than my parents or brother...:mad:

    If I caught them doing that to my car I would probably be in federal prison for life....they dont have charges for the things I would do to them.

    This is terrible betraying other peoples' trust. For me, the Prius is the most valuable thing I have after the house and I use it to make a living (driving to work). If the car breaks down, I don't work and I don't get paid. Messing with other people's means for making a living is really mean.
