Got into a car this morning to check for a noise in a wheel - I got in and started the engine,put it into gear...and felt the engine stall - but it still kept going!!
Toyota Prius...duh! Had a good squizz around,looked normal underneath,but under the bonnet were warnings about high voltages,looked like the electric motor sat above the gearbox.Didn't go for a longer drive.
Tyre down to the steelbelt and they drove off.Next time buy a car with tyres you can buy - 165-65 x 15...not available.

As much of a petrol head as I am, I'd like one of those cars. Would make me feel better about my gas guzzling Ferrari.

Weird cars. Working on them is not my idea of fun.

And how can a man die better

Totally pointless if you do anything but around town driving. It starts sucking the petrol if you go over 50kmh to charge the batteries, so becomes a normal gas guzzler on motorways or open roads.
Should be popular in Auckland though...

Waa?
Take a bit of getting used to, drove one around the block and every time I had to stop the motor died...
