Alright.... anyone own a Prius?

I kinda hang my head on this but I bought one of those 2018 Prius Primes that plug in to recharge the battery. I go all over on electric power and haven't used any gas at all. In fact, I need to put some Stabil in my tank if I don't take a trip soon. On the road I get 67 MPG or better sometimes. Traded in a pickup and miss the pickup because the Prius just won't haul stuff like a pickup. Anyway, it seems to be a good car, has a good record and it's a Toyota.

I have a prius but I put a spoiler on the back and flames on the side.

How come to buy the house they want 400 pages of tax returns, wage statements,God knows what else and takes 30-60 days.
But to buy the same priced car its like "Let's see your DL, sign here. Thank You very much! Have a nice day."
To top it off, the vehicle loses 25% of its value as soon as you drive it off the lot.

The last new vehicles I have bought require an identification check, even though I paid cash. Some dealers say they require a credit check due to the Patriot Act and terrorists trying to launder money, but that is not true. The IRS Form 8300 is used for cash purchases greater than $10,000.

I'd put my alleycat engine against that hellcat anyday. I mean a real alleycat powers my prius. Have to stop every hour or so and scratch behind her ears, but when she's purring she's....she's...well she's probably asleep and the electric motor kicks in
