    Consider some B's too. :)


    Two Hummers parked side by side: D on left, & in the middle and B on right.

    I always enjoyed the "corner too fast" equation:

    FWD: front end hits the guardrail.
    RWD: rear end hits the guardrail.
    AWD: whole vehicle hits the guardrail.

    How many Gs can the Hummer corner at ? Perhaps the equation gets modifed to "Hummer takes out the guardrail and keeps on going thus acquiring it's off-road status". :D

    Oh, he detests the Prius. But that's because it's a car show and he owns a Lamborghini Gallardo. Still a great show, though.

    Problemchild has a great avatar.

    Top Gear guy loves supercars and power. He tore the H2 apart with spoofery and left it as child's play - having neither real precision nor real power.

    Prius is a car for Prius enthusiasts, progressives, greens, penny pinchers, and the true petrol conservatives.

    A lot of the columnists and reviewers for Car rags such as Road and Track, Motor Trend... have nothing but negatives when talking about a Prius in terms of panache, handling, or general sexiness.

    There are some, however, who would vote for it as "Car of the Year" every year. I would not be surprised if Motor Trend gave the 2010 Prius a car of the year award if the efficiencies, performance and creature comforts are improved. We know on which side of the fence we sit - over here in Priuschat.

    H2 will be another of the dinosaurs left on the big 3 lots with dwindling numbers of salesmen to care for their breed. Has anyone been on a Dodge, GM, or Blue Oval lot of late. It is kind of like a trip to Jurassic Park. Things are getting scary...

    I am curious if Problemchild is just enjoying the interchange...I have a friend who listens to Plush Blimpflog (Rush Limbaugh) - he is always dosing me with pleasant witicisms too.

    Gonna get in my Humvee and squash one of you damn toy car driving greenies in your little Prissy.
