Prius is pretty damn cool.
My Mom wants to get one, whenever her 86 Corolla finally kicks the bucket.
Here is an idea: Take a civic or CRX, and modify the engine to burn propane. You get the tax credit, HOV priveledges, and cheap fuel. without having to shell out for a brandy new car.
A guy I knew in my auto tech classes was in the process of doing this. Its surprisingly simple. And propane is something like 109 octane so b00st or high compression would be extremely tempting :-p
