Exploding Lexus Hybrid

[upstatedoc]

Did anyone see this story on CNN? Pretty scary...

[nategr8ns]

hahahaha stupid hybrids.

Yeah, 1/2 the places are saying it is a bomb and the other half say its just the car... being a bomb.


At any rate, I hope the doctor lives.

Looks like it was a bomb

I don't know what is scarier...

Worrying about someone planting a bomb on your car or your car being a potential bomb.

And people wonder why I hate the Prius. They're slow. They're pathetic. The drivers of them tend to block the left lane. And now, they're driving ticking time bombs. DO they serve any use at all.

Oh.. and .. um... LMAO at that exploding Lexus.
Would it not make more sense for the BMW Hydrogen 7 to be the first car that explodes???

*Edit* My best wishes go out to the doctor and his family!!

Prii should not be allowed in the left lane as Pmoth said

Hydrogen is less flammable than gasoline IIRC.

Apparently you never driven a prius

I was a passenger in one on the highway cruising 85-90 the whole time and we ended up getting 45mpg.

Its all the driver not the car.

x2, My dad 'cruises' in his Prius... actually its my moms car, but she doesn't like driving it in the winter... so he does for her.


At any rate, ~85/90MPH @ 40mpg (what he normally gets on the interstate) isn't too bad.

Yes but most Prius drivers think they must save the planet so they drive 45 in the fast lane. They obviously have confused the estimated MPG on that thing with the max speed they can drive it.
