and it also has HOV carpool stickers. The prius is not some POS sardine
can-death trap-and even those little tin cans don't come close to 50mpg-but
rather a true MID-SIZED luxury vehicle. I have all the luxury extras. Too many
to list. When I pull up next to a traditional gas-guzzler, with their engine
idling, wasting gas and spewing poison, it just reinforces the fact that the
pirus is far superior in every way to an all gas vehicle. <br>
