At the gas pump. Man Cali gas for regular is $4.35 on average out here. Kids I don't think things are going to improve anytime soon. So I am considering (again!) This baby... Don't worry the Roush isn't going anywhere except 120 mph on the on ramps I'll be like Dr Jeckle & Mr Hyde.

I like the George Lopez quote, I for one dont like those Prius' (at all), a friend of mine's parents drive one, and they are awful cheap feeling to me, but I spose I can make an exception for the jedster. Dont suppose you can supercharge it?

Kyle-Car's looking good.
Luis-I vote rear swaybar only or......Just save up and get the Watt's link and you get a rear swaybar and then some.
Jed-As much as you drive I agree you should get a prius. Just don't expect the Socal crew to roll with you. Or save yourself alot of $$$ and get a Geometro.

Way to go Kyle I really like the Bullitt grille. Sets the car apart.
Forget the pious, get a smart car....
As far as saving $$$$ I think my 2nd car as a DD went from a Old beat up F250 to a VW Bug !!! They can be had cheap here in So Cal and I know how to work on them like the back of my hand.

Leo - I checked mine out. It's still there. 
Smart car = death car. One car accident and you're getting buried with it
Nice to see everyone back on Tms again

4.35?! I guess we are lucky to be at 3.89 at the local shell. I think the Prius would be the last gas sipper I would get. They cost more to begin with and the dealer can charge at least sticker on them because there's such a demand. Over the long run, I'm not sure you actually save. Something like a Focus can be had cheap and still gets pretty darn good mileage. Also, you aren't going to get much on the trade-in. Dealers don't want to take SUVs because they can't sell them and the resale prices have fallen through the floor. Trade-in value is almost non-existent.

I thought the Smart car actually got like 5 star crash test ratings? They look like they would be death traps, but I'm not sure that's actually the case.

My Prius post got allot of attention great! Hey maybe I should just by a rice bike like I had before
I confirmed with Roush and they will release the P-51's Short block very soon no pricing yet. I'm sure it will be at a premium price. I got a Livernois quote on a long block with Stage 1 heads and cam's it came to 12 G's yikes!
Also Kenne Bell has a Mammoth version Throttle body for my blower the 2.6L so that maybe a temptation down the road. But in actuality my current blower will get me to 700 HP with a pulley change and tune.
Nothing is constant but change!
