ON THAT NOTE.....JUST THINK,.... How much good for the environment you'll be doing by extending the life of an existing vehicle and not creating demand for a (another) new, mostly plastic car that throws tons of pbc's into the air from it's new plastics and metal forging and shipping and such. You might even save a tree, man!
So, throw away that prius, put on those John Lennon sunglasses, dawn your j.c. water walkers and go out into this world, knowing that you've done your part!
There's ALWAYS a bright side
