    :)For the first time in ten years, I'm down to one great car, and I'm glad. Too many cars, too much under utilization.

    86 Crown Victoria Coupe and 94 Ford F150 1/2 ton Longbed. The Prius would fit in the trunk of The Crown Vic and you could parallel park it in the bed of the F150. ;)

    It's a jump off the cliff from 50MPG to 20MPG, but having the top and doors off in the summer sure is fun!

    As above posters have said, different tools for different jobs.

    No, it doesn't suck at all. It's a good sign of successful urban design.

    My other car is a 2003 Audi A4 cabriolet. Could have traded it in when I bought my 2013 Prius but I love me my drop top. Will be my summer car..

    That's nice. Is that in the UK? I'm sure those houses look European in not.

    My other car IS a Prius, since I own two of them...

    However, my other other car is the one I dated my wife in over 30 years ago.

    It is currently disassembled in the garage pending being modified into the most fun hybrid I can imagine!

    is that really the proper scale. IE is that what an old firebird overlays with the prius....

    So are you thinking of putting a prius driveline into an old fire bird? WOW....

    I'd think a RWD hybrid drive train from one of the Lexus would be more apt. Or a HiHy AWD one.
