22B Gone and replaced with Prius Itech.

[cornf3]

I have decided to go Eco friendly and this is my every day drive car with volk ce28n in black shadow chrome.

Modifying Prius is a big thing in the US. The guys over there are using Subaru wheels on there Prius. Ideal offsets.

this!! the ct200h is an awesome lil hybrid. drive my bosses one all the time. theres different variants but the leather seat one with sat nav and what not is the best

[cornf3]

Lexus ct200h and the prius itech have the same running gear. The itech has the addition of solar roof and sunroof. I also have self parking and radar cruise control, leather, perimeter key entry etc...

Technology wise its a better car to drive in and out of town. Not the same performance, but your not buying that. The problem is im getting old. Im not a young fella like must of you guys on this forum.

[RAYDEO]

how could you sell a 22b? honestly!

[cornf3]

As before the wife made me sell it. This is what happens when you have a car in the garage which never gets used. To her it was a waste of money doing nothing.

[RAYDEO]

Should have sold the wife.

agreed . selling a 22b is the one thing i could never do

prius doesnt look all that bad with rims ....... :-X

[ADIKT]

Just need to tint it and then it will look OK

----> -1 karma for selling the 22b -sorry

[cornf3]

Cant sell wife. She earns more money than me

[Koom]

If you\'re that much older than the average on here then I\'m guessing mid life crisis, but then I thought a mid life crisis car was supposed to be loud and angry and totally inappropriate for the environment?

[me=JoKer]puts hand up.... was 33 on Sunday[/me]

[ODB]

We used to have Prius\' at work.

Could never get em to do a burnout.

It is kinda cool ghosting along with no engine noise and then beeping horn right behind an unsuspecting cyclist :-*

[newsuba]

Dyno it !

;D

[G-unit]

22b still in NZ?

[tebbyj]

Its been proven that in the long run a Prius does more environmental damage than a Land Rover Discovery....

[cornf3]

yes was sold to a new member here on clubsub He calls himself new to NZ.

Joker you 33 on sunday. You are only just starting your midlife crisis. I must be over the hill.

[Joker]

haha depends on how old ya feel

and yea tubbyJ : the resources that went into making the early batteries and waste produced DID outweigh the pro\'s of owning a Prius : I dunno if thats still tru 10 years later

[DRFVDR]

It has been proved that the Prius is less economical/less enviromentally friendly than a VW polo Diesel

Still I do like the Hybrid idea, was very close to buying the missus a hybrid Estima but could not see me driving it SO I brought her a gas guzzling V6 one ( nah it actually better than the 4 as the engine works less hard)

I will be turning 46 i a few months so getting up there my mid life crisis ? starting a new family with my 30 yo missus

[slystiguy]

This topic should be culled

Why come on here saying you sold your super cool car that everyone loves and got a frekin prius possibly the lamest car money can buy you(next to most kia\'s)

Get yourself a catscan buddy because a you must have a big old tumor in your brain pushing up on your frontal lobes

[cornf3]

Im 47 too make and to make this topic worst i have two prius.

A his and a hers. I struggled with the idea that it was not cool.

And after selling the 22B then going to a Lexus 400h & now to itech prius, my head was telling me this is practical.

My monthly expenses running both cars has dropped dramatically.

I also looked at the Hybrid Estima but thought this was an even worst look. But honestly once you\'ve gone hybrid its hard gong back to diesel or petrol, the fuel consumption is around 4.4-5Ltr and the performance is okay 0-100ks in 10 seconds. And since my cars are primarily for town commuting these are ideal.

PS I didnt mean to upset Clusub members i was only wanting to show off the volk ce28n mags off.

[loner]

I\'m 42 and if I\'m thinking about a Prius in 5 years, I will kill myself.
