You Can Kill Your Wife - As Long As You Do It In A Prius

On September 19, 2008, William Hippsley, 74, was behind the wheel in the parking lot of a shopping center in Brigg, South Humberside, UK. Outside, his wife Brenda, 69, helped him park his car. Suddenly, Hippsley’s car shot forward, dragged his wife 130ft across the parking lot – and killed her.

The car was a Toyota Prius.

Carson D I was thinking that this is such a nice car, and it is a bit of a shame that you use it so little. Then I remembered that I still have a car that I purchased new in 2007 which now has 78,000 miles and is sitting in a parking space I moved it to so my parents could park in its space when they visited about a month ago. That your 2019 Golf Sportwagen had headliner and water intrusion issues is a stark reminder that people who still buy VWs are like those people who still vote for bail reform politicians after they've been assaulted by someone who'd already been arrested for violent acts half a dozen times in two months. I knew two people who bought new Jetta Sportwagens who suffered spooling mesh headliners that became jammed, unfurled and frayed combined with leaking two-plane sunroofs...in 2009! They were also involved in a class action lawsuit about 'mandatory optional' equipment that they paid for that the cars weren't actually equipped with. I think it was Bluetooth links.

Wjtinfwb Keep it. A good car you're not tired of is like a great dog. Irreplaceable. After 45 years of car ownership, there's just a few I wish I never sold and realized my total proceeds from selling those few cars was less than 75k dollars. Not a lot of Lexus that you'd say are irreplaceable, but a solid GS is one of them.
Add Lightness Lots of Eye rolling with the Urus.Less eye rolling with the equally useless (or should I say underutilized) LM002.
Tim You can't buy Fisker for $27 million. All that buys is the shares, which are basically worthless at this point. To buy the company you have to ante up the $1.3 billion owed to its creditors, otherwise they'll just take it away from you in a few weeks.For all we know the house may also be leveraged to the hilt. That seems to be how this guy rolls.Still, if I had to choose, I'd choose the house. I hate EVs.
