The point is, for all of us who are driving $103,000.00 Mercedes, don't lose your key! With regard to the rest of this nonsense I suggest, as we all have, that you are familiar and fully understand your purchase agreement and warranty when making any financial desision. The hard part here is being a responsible, mature adult. Mutually exclusive descriptions. I know.

Actually I was picking on the Toyota Prius, IMO they will be one of the hardest cars to sell down the road. Not only due to repair coats but also battery replacement, the local dealer told me between $5,000 & $7,000 depending on the climate area and usage. Add that to the carbon trail of the silver oxide batteries they actually until better batteries are made are more polluting the gasoline.

------Believe it or not Geo Metros are in big demand. Guys are fixing up the little c rap-boxes and selling them to unsuspecting people desiring that 50mpg they are supposedly capable of. Its really hard to find a decent one as they were kind of fragile, if you know what I mean.:crossfing::crossfing::crossfing:........Bill S
