Well, my insurance went down when switching to the Metro. My truck was my primary vehicle and the Buick was my beater. The Metro was supposed to be my new beater until I realized how cheap it was to drive.

The "Stupid Rich Guys" should have been rephrased, but I know of quite a few of these type people who own a truck, 2 SUV's and want to buy a Prius to save on fuel. Kudos to them if they plan on keeping it as a primary vehicle and drive it well after it's paid for, but these are the same kind of people who trade in every few years and if fuel prices went back down, the Prius would end up beside the driveway in the grass.

Not all people are stupid or ignorant or lazy, only about 70% of the American population are.
