Came here to suggest this. Even a normal Prius has plenty of room in it, I have a 2004 and have had me, my girlfriend, my two 60 lb dogs, and all our luggage in it, and still had room :-P I do wish I had sprung for the V though. 

Ah, okay, I was thinking “shooting brake” and in my head I pictured a two door 505 wagon and was like, okay, now I’m jealous :-P I got mine from my friend’s mom, she also had an automatic one (She got rear ended in it by a Caddy, totaled the Caddy and bent the bumper on the Peugeot lol) and asked me to check the trans…

I got like four inflatable whales once at end-of-the-season clearance at Walmart for $5 each, figured I’d sell ‘em the following Spring for 20 bucks a pop or something. Flash forward 10 or so years and I’m sorting through things out of my storage unit and I come across one of them that’s still in the box. Throw it on…

Buddy of mine told me that the Monkey Wrench Racing short shifter + a set of brass shift bushings makes all the difference in the otherwise clunky Corolla shifter, although I went from a manual Subaru to a Jetta TDI to the Corolla, and there’s a definite difference between a cable shifter and the more-or-less direct…

Mine was a 4 door sedan, I think in the US we just got the sedan and the wagon version. 

my gf managed to fit a washer AND dryer into a 245 back in the day :-P 

I used to have a 505 STI turbo diesel. Had a blown unobtanium (at least in the states) turbo gasket so all it did was turn diesel fuel into noise and smoke, but it was still fun! Someone riding your ass? Just floor it and they disappear! 

The XRS/Vibe GT have the 2ZZ-GE out of the Celica GT-S, which a a marked improvement over the 140hp 1zz-GE Corolla mill that they normally have. If only the AWD variant could be had with a manual transmission! 

I need to see how well I fit in one of these, like I want one or a Sera :-P 

Motion sensing stealth dash cam with front and rear cameras should catch the culprit(s). 

I made it through like 4 airports with my credit card knife thing in my wallet, I had completely forgotten about it. Went to the courthouse and the cop at the door saw it and when I told him about the TSA missing it he was like “Yeah, well, we are cooler than the TSA!) 

While we’re being pedantic, the correct syntax is != not =! :-) 

I used to work with a somewhat homophobic chap, and once at lunch while flipping through the channel guide he sees “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and goes “OOH! DRAG RACING!” and clicks the button, and then briefly gets excited over seeing boobs until he realized it was a guy, and then “OMG WTF IS THIS!!!!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!” as…

My laptop bag will trigger the passenger seat belt warning in my Prius :-P

My ex brother-in-law had one, can’t remember if his was stick or automatic, but my SVX would absolutely wipe the walls with it, and it was not an overly fast car by any means :-P

When I was in high school, my friend’s dad had two of these, one was a slushbox and had the venerable Chrysler 2.2 liter 4 pot that liked to eat head gaskets, and the other one was a stick and rocked a Volkswagen power plant. The VW powered one was the more reliable of the two, but both had body issues like broken…

Bears a striking resemblance to a Kaiser Henry J

You should probably swap out at least that thing of brake fluid every year or so. 

I remember talking to a friend of mine once and I said something about my car having an H6 in it, and she goes “My car has a V4" and I was like “ooh you have a Saab Sonett?” and she’s like “A what? No I have a Hyundai Sonata” And then in explaining to her that the “V” wasn’t some shorthand for “number of cylinders”…
