Just sold my c55 for a prius
Yeah, gas was getting too expensive here and the c55 had to go. The prius is so much more economical and is actually fun to drive. I'm sad to let it go after the fun we had but I'll be looking forward to driving quietly off the line and yelling at people who drive mindless v8 cars.




































April Fool's!

Before I bought the AMG I did consider getting a hybrid because I thought it'd be "cool" and trendy. Well, thank goodness I didnt.

Have a friend in Ohio who is head of a mid size manufacturing company.

No joke, to cool his image he got a Prius and reports it's a sled in the snow even with blizzaks.

His wife drives the s550.
