Seriously though on the Prius I understand you wanting a car that gets good mileage but, you can do better than that thing. Something like a VW TDI gets just as good maybe better mileage.
Thanks everyone! Not going to sue as my injuries are not bad enough. As for the C63 AMG, I'm a CIO and make over 106K per year. I'm just not stupid with my money! The EVO is the best bang for the buck! I'm just ready to move on.

CNN says to expect 5 cents per week increase in gas for the next 3 to 4 months.

I would hate to do your commute to work especially in the D.C. area. My parents live there and they always have bad things to say about the D.C. traffic.

I know you were joking and I did think about it at first!

Being a Network Engineer by career I just really dig the technology you get with the Prius. I'm looking at getting the 08 in red with all options except the leather interior. I test drove it and liked it! And diesel exhaust makes me sick! (But not as much as not having my EVO!)

^^^^ I'm with you there man.

I think old people are the worst drivers because they drive bad ALL the time and don't know it, or do and don't care. At least teens drive semi normal most of the time.

Should be a law that requires people over the age of 60 to take a driving test every 3 years or so. I bet if it was a good test testing vision and what not, easily half would fail.

I mean think about it. Old people don't turn to look when they merge or switch lanes (most of the time) because they are OLD and don't move as fast as younger people making them more lazy when it comes to safety. So they just give a quick look in there mirrors which isn't enough. I can't even tell you the amount of times I've almost gotten hit because of this exact reason. Every time it was an older person.

I could go on and on about this.

Anyway sorry to hear about your Evo man. 181k, DAMN! I don't think I've seen one with that much milage on it before.

Good chance to get a new one!

glad to hear your alright, that really sucks but the c63 will be a hell of a car. i dont understand how you can fall asleep at the wheel and not wake up after hitting 3 things. maybe she took sleeping pills?
