For some reason, that car brings out the worst in other drivers. I had a guy in a lifted truck push me off the road so that he could race past and merge in front of me on a freeway on-ramp, and then he threw his coffee at me and it splattered all over my hood.

That's exactly why he loves his. And it's roomy enough to be a parts runner, he's carried more transmissions in that Prius than I have in my Ram lol
