I'd like to test drive a Prius. I'd consider one as my daily commuter car and set the Pro up for autox and track days. I wonder if the mpg would drop if I swapped on a set Proxes T1-R's. Of course the week after I got one I'd probably get a new job two miles from home and then it would be pointless. I'd have to go out of my way to keep working very far from home to make it pay for itself.
On the plus side, my little home town in Wis has a long time Mercury dealer that now sells Mazda. And they've got the Mazda's out in front of the lot on the towns main drag. Now maybe I can get others in my family to switch away from pathetic domestic brands that keep breaking down. Their only excuse was always there wasn't a dealer in town. I keep telling them if they buy a decent import they don't NEED a dealer for repairs. Dumb ass country hicks. [But I mean that in a loving way]
