All hands on deck! All hands on deck! She is going down at the bow, abandon ship! abandon ship! Man the life boats. All hands on deck, this is not a drill, this is not a drill, man the life boats. Mayday mayday this is USS American we are taking on water and going down, Mayday mayday this the USS Americna we are taking on water and sinking, life boats are being deployed, we are abandoning ship at this time.
Any time you have an Elephant and a Jackass you are either going to butt heads or kick each other in the butt! I would say on the items they disagree on should be put to a national vote for the solution. That way it''s with actual will of the people.
Don''''t look now, but you just included both parties. Maybe you do understand after all ------------------------------------------------------ Posted by DJ_IL at 01:11 PM : Nov 17, 2008
Not sure which post you are referring to but hey, I feel like I have always been fair. I am an equal opportunity exposer. Both parties are a piece of c r a p . I do fear though that the democrats are going to really hurt us. Again, only time will tell.
Has anyone looked into what oil reserves they''re talking about? All I could find is there may be pockets of tar sands in the area. That''ll save us:) Maybe the Feds are deserate for money.
Sounds pretty good. Now, can we get people to change? I think we are going to have to be strangled pretty tightly before people give up their comfort. We are spoiled. posted by deathofUSA ------------------ Actually, maybe once they find out that the upkeep pretty much stays at the $ of the list of things recommended for 15,000 miles, they may be more interested.
Because the Prius doesn''t have most of the things checked at 30,000, 60,000 miles, etc., I keep paying the 15,000 mile price for maintenance.
So with 50 mpg (52 in the summer, 48 in winter with snow tires), a relatively heavy weight, all-around air bags, vehicle stability control, and a hatch-back, I''m pretty happy with it.
It is built on the Corolla base and so I guess if one was obese it may be a problem? One drive is 6''''1" and doesn''''t complain. It is a hatchback, so I can flip down the back seats and carry quite a bit. Also, I can carry 8 ft. boards in it. ------------------------------------------------------ Posted by perk235 at 12:07 PM : Nov 17, 2008

It weighs 2890 pounds, which is the average weight for a car in it''''''''s class. My old Ford Ranger was 3028 pounds, for comparison.
My prius has all-around air bags and vehicle stability control, which does great in the snow. -------------------------------------- Posted by perk235 at 11:49 AM : Nov 17, 2008 What about your legs? Would they survive? Looks kind of small. Posted by deathofSUSA --------------------- It is built on the Corolla base and so I guess if one was obese it may be a problem?

No, you are simply a backwards thinking individual with no ability to look into the future. But, I am tired of giving you any more of my time. ----------------------------------------------------- Posted by owlmirror at 12:03 PM : Nov 17, 2008
Yeah, I would be careful if I were you. I may steal your ideas. ha ha ha. what a wacko.
