Heck you can drive that fast here. Until they yank your license.

At about the 1:50 mark of this video a prototype Prius station wagon pulls into a merge-out lane and passes a Clubman on the right in the intersection. Looks like an illegal and dangerous maneuver to me. :eek6:

This is The Truth About Cars (TTAC)'s review of a production prototype of a Toyota Prius V

There is something to be said for driving a non-descript car.

Before the MINI, I drove a '97 Nissan Altima in metallic tan. Every 10th car in Dallas looked exactly like mine.

I was cruising down the left hand lane of the highway, probably going 7-10 MPG over the limit (but was going with traffic) when I crested over a hill. Suddenly the guy in front of me and the guy behind me pulled 1 lane to the right and I knew what was gonna happen. 1 second later, I saw the cop with his radar gun pointed right at me. I saw him turn on the lights and merge into traffic and I knew I was a gonner... until I looked one car to the right of me and spotted the exact same make/model car in the same color! I pulled over one lane and tucked in right behind him. The cop came flying up the left hand lane and I could see him looking back and forth between the 2 cars, trying to figure out who the speeder was. I was doing my best not to look back at him... trying to keep an 'innocent' look on my face. After 10-15 seconds, he gave up, turned off the lights and pulled over to fish for his next speeder.

Unfortunately, I'm not gonna get that lucky again in a fully modded MINI.

That's the kind of thing I enjoy about my 2002 Saturn. It's such a generic car that you never got attention!

Hmmm. Clearly the perfect arguement for moving forward with cloning of the human species. Imagine the possibilities...... :lol:
