Well motortrend can just kiss my........

How the hell is a Prius car of the Year? Those Motor Trend people must have access to the best stash of illegal substances known to man. Personally, the new one is like skidmark said "a tool". I use it to haul equipment, the family, and myself to work and back. Yeah they stop and steer great, and 99% of the time they fire right up. But if something were to happen to it, it would be gone and another would take its place. If something happens to one of my classics on the other hand, it will have to be really, really bad for me to part with it. I mean frame rails twisted into figure 8's bad. And even then I would have hesitations, just because I enjoy a challenge. The ones I built and wrench on to keep running are like my kids. Part of who I am is in it. New cars don't give me the same feeling.
