Insomniac post: Clarkson and his Prius

Couldn't sleep, so of course I was visiting Ace's and ran into this:

Tell us how you really feel, Jeremy...

My girl friend has a Prius and she just noticed and complained looudly that I have only been in it once but somehow also failing to note that even she would rather drive in my 911 than her own car if given the option. When she bought the car I asked the salesman if a hair shirt and cilice came with the warranty in the glove box. He didn't laugh.

It's hard for me to believe that people are clamoring to buy, at a premium, a car that is the modern equivalent of a Citroen 2CV.

I was thinking of the Citroen when I first watched this YouTube. Someone I knew in Puerto Rico had one when I was a kid and there was nothing appealing about the car - much like the Prius.

And good catch on the Royal Army arsenal, too.

At 10:00 PM, Pat Patterson said...: OMG, climate change is real and the tundra has moved 250 miles!
