If I had to pick one car for basic transportation needs, Prius would be at the top of the list. If you think the Toyota Prius and eco-friendly cars of its ilk are just for slow-moving hipsters, you are dead wrong. Prius racing is making a big splash, thanks to functions such as the 2011 Prius Cup. It fulfills the hypermilers need for speed, relatively speaking. Resource for this article: Link removed due to having absolutely no relevance to the above comment, unless you live in Washington DC and want to buy a second hand car...

What are you talking about? The Prius carries around two sources of power. Why would you carry around that extra weight, you only need a single source of power (And electric power is clearly the most efficient source for that). Fact is, we could already be driving 100% electric cars for over 20 years now if innovation wasn't held back by the big oil companies! (They have bought many patents for useful technologies and alternatives to oil over the years, just to prevent the position of their business getting weaker).

Anyway, that said Nick, you really must love your Celica! That is a whole load of work, and an AMAZING result!
