QUOTE (impala454 @ May 24 2008, 12:04 AM)  this reminds me of that stupidass article someone posted a while back about how electric cars should make noise so blind people dont step out in front of them I watched a CNN video the other day about some 8 year old kid that got hit by a Prius because he couldn't hear it driving down the road. The kid wasn't blind. He just didn't look both ways before crossing. He relied on his sense of hearing instead. When the Prius engine shuts off and the vehicle is running on battery power, it makes very little noise. Can't say I blame the kid. The other day when I was walking to take the trash out, I realized I did the same thing when walking through the parking lot. Thank God there were no shitty Toyota Prius' around  I kinda do see a problem with blind people not being able to know what kind of money they have. People will rip them off. I have a problem with not being able to hear battery operated vehicles too... but mainly because I just think the Prius sucks. My dad keeps trying to get me to buy one. If I'm going hybrid, I'm getting a Honda Civic Hybrid |

the "fact remains prius runs down faster than any other car"
source that please because that "fact" doesnt exist. jessica you talked about having consumer reports stacked up. you should read some of them. ive already discussed how that "wasteland" mine in canada is a virtually a totally invalid "point" against a prius. people are actually AFRAID to step away from their old cars! its crazy (i can rope you guys in so easy. like fat babies to the sight of a soda can) -------------------- Little monkeys making money

I think I don't have to source anything I say either. source that please because that "fact" doesnt exist. jessica you talked about having consumer reports stacked up. you should read some of them. ive already discussed how that "wasteland" mine in canada is a virtually a totally invalid "point" against a prius. people are actually AFRAID to step away from their old cars! its crazy (i can rope you guys in so easy. like fat babies to the sight of a soda can) QUOTE (Testm0nkey @ May 30 2008, 05:12 PM) hahaha Yes, yes it does. I never said it didn't.BTW! "Consumer reports rates the Prius as the highest rated Family Car, but it also appears to have the highest percentage rating of all categories." QUOTE (Dogmeat @ May 30 2008, 07:52 PM) Anyone who buys off on _ANYTHING_ that Consumer Reports writes needs to have their head checked. That magazine is so fucking biased, worthless and stupid it just makes me anus hurt. ESPECIALLY when it comes to automobiles. I have an online account. I don't use it much. I mostly read other stuff online.
