Hybrids are a joke...
But like they say, a squirrel is just a rat with better PR...

We have a Scion XB wrapped in lettering for our business and I'll tell you what as far as around town I would rather drive it than any car I have ever owned. It has tons of headroom and the visibility is great. It reminds me of driving a golf cart, corners great and you can park it anywhere. Then again it does look like a toaster.

Very cool article.
And replacing all those batteries? Has an even worse impact that article did not even touch on.
Besides its an ugly car only a tree hugger could love.

I personally wouldn't mind driving a Ballard powered fuel cell car to work every day . 10.000 pounds of pressure in a hydrogen fuel :jawdrop: cell makes me think though . Saw pictures of huge steam locomotives disintegrate when boilers blew :idea: :eek:

I like how when they did the math they calculated the prius to 100000K miles and the hummer to 300000K miles.
Deduce from that what you will.

They explained that.........
100,000 is the expected life of a Prius
300,000 is the expected life of a Hummer

I bought one of these when they first came out, Im 400 lbs and this car is a blast to drive, I could put four guys my size in this thing with no problem, I leave the big trucks at the shop and tool around in the "toaster".:sqeyes:

Your 400 lbs, and you know 3 other guys the same size? I don't even know one guy that big, and I know a shitload of people! I'd be amazed if the XB actually had a 1600 lbs payload capacity?

Yeah, I haven't figured out a way to explain in terms you can understand that I don't need my personal shit posted up here. I really don't find it all that difficult to diferentiate what's personal and what's not, but not posting anything would probably be the safest route... :notam: :idea: :D

I run back and forth from CA to AZ in a Civic SI sedan It's is a great car to drive, great mileage, decent power, and comfort too. Round trip today is about $50.
