Good to hear the Prius is still going strong. I would probably go for a used one and theres 2003-2005s for around $14k. I'm just not sure if they keep on jammin' after a few years. Aaron, please tell me a Wrangler gets as good mileage, PLEASE :)
Buying a friggen car is a headache. If I think about putting down $10k then getting a new Prius at mid 20ks, then it opens up basically every other car out there too, and I have total overload.
Edit: Thanks for the bonus tips Enron! I want a friggen MINI! MINI-HYBRID! A friend has a smart car and those friggen awful - you look like a clown and the ride is super bouncey and all the accidents I have, death for sure.
