On a Serious note, I did test drive a Prius C (because it's cheaper than a real Prius). I really liked it. 
 
I didn't buy it because, well, I'm hideously cheap, and instead, I fixed some stuff on my mini-van. (Yes, I drive an 11 year old mini-van. What? Why are you giving me that look?)
 
So, instead of getting 50 mph, I'll stick with getting 20. It's not like the price of gas might ever go up, right? 
 

With the coming Ice Age in 15 years, I'm thinking I might best pick up a 4 wheel drive and a couple of snow mobiles.  I guess I better tell the sales person to throw in a set of snow tires with it.....maybe a block heater as well.

I'm looking at a Prius here. Just to bug my neighbour, who still uses his old black smoke spewing, loose flapping box, rattletrap old 1972 Ford F150 pickemup truck.

If that's what he's driving, do you really think it will bother him if you drive a Prius?  I would think it would be the other way around!

He absolutely HATES Priuses

Can we still look cool driving a minivan?


 
Apart from the jokes....
 
Do all your research online and if there are 2-3 dealers fairly close by, get them all to compete with each other on the pricing (doing it online). IIRC I read somewhere that if the dealer gets about $1k over the actual price of the vehicle, it's enough of a profit for them.......of course, they'll try to make as much as possible.........YMMV.
 
 

 

 

 

 
Something about this last one seems off to me. I think that drummer is about to regenerate. 

Is that Danny Bounceadouchi?

Be sure to check out the new Teslas. I'm no car talkin' dood but they seem to be the next best thing to a hovercar and their pricing has gotten better. They've also been doing it longer... and not as begrudgingly as their big auto counterparts.

Hating smug, smarmy, condescending behavior is one thing. Hating a perfectly valid and useful technology is ridiculous.
 
If you NEED a big gas powered truck or other vehicle... you need it. If you don't and choose one of the newer less toxic (and in many situations less expensive) alternatives then that's no ones business (as long as you aren't forcing it on others). If you don't and STILL choose the gas guzzling truck, even if that seems counterproductive to me personally, that's still no one's business (as long as you aren't forcing it on others).
 
Enjoy your life. Be good to your fellow man. Do what is right for you, your needs and your own conscience but above all...
