H-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-owdy guys! Time for the bigboii thought of the day..."Cars get dirty when you don't wash them." Thats right guys. If you own a vehicle or are currently just using one, wash it........please. I don't think we are going to win the war with a bunch of dirty cars and trucks driving around everywhere. Im pretty sure Saddam, during Desert Storm, washed his Winnebago. But anyways, I think if we learn to live cleaner, we can overcome the problem of killing the Earth. I was driving to my orthodontist appt. today and I just found myself to be stuck behind a Toyota Prius. Observe...
What the hell is this supposed to be? Did Toyota just pull this out of thier ass? This is what I think happened...
Toyota Engineer #1: Yea, we are the best car company in the world, we even beat out Ford and GM in America! Hahahaha!
Toyota Engineer #2: Ha, thats so true, but how can we piss them off even more?
Toyota Engineer #1: I know, we will design a car that can travel across America on one tank of gas and give them more luxury then the best car in the world for a cheap and affordable price!
Toyota Egnineer #2: Yea, and lets make it look like a peice of shit to, people were surely buy it.
And they surely did succeed. They managed to pack this car with the following items...

And now for the Interior with Engine information.

Now before I go into the engine specs. Do realize that this car has two engines, one gasoline and one electric.
Gasoline Engine
- Aluminum double overhead cam 16 valve VVT-i 4-cylinder
- 1.5 liters displacement
- Multi-port EFI with electronic Throttle Control System with intelligence....(WTF)
- Electronic Toyota Direct Ignition
- 76hp@ 5000 rpm
- 82 lb.-ft. @ 4200 rpm
- Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emission Vehicle
Electric Engine
- Permanent magnet AC synchronous motor
- 67 hp @ 1200 rpm
- 295 lb-ft @ 0-1200 rpm
- 500 Voltage maximum
- Transaction Battery with 28 hp output.
This comes to a total of 171 hp and 377 torque and it gets 60+ mpg! Astonishing! With numbers like these, it seems that I will be needing a sports car to beat this thing. And do you still want to be amazed? You can get this car for $20,100-23,000!!!!
Mercedes Benz and BMW are really fucked now...or are they?
Apparently not, the concept of this car is well done and it has opened up new "Earth Friendly" technology to the world. But, the exterior design has failed horribly. The only people willing to purchase this car happen to be blind. Toyota found that Blind people can't purchase cars for obvious reasons. So no one is going to buy this car right? Well to the average tree-hugger, I mean enviormentalist, this car seems like a damn good deal, but less then 5000 models have been purchased nation wide. Until Toyota changes the design of this car, it looks like they will not have numbers to brag about any time soon.
The moral of this story? Cars should be cleaned on a regular basis because with a clean car, you get the opitmal aerodynamic usage out of your vehicle increasing gas milage, and you don't have to purchase this...
