That's right. I bought what is arguably the most hated car on the internet.
I like to call it White Lighting, but it goes by other names such as "the daily," "the beater," or just "the piece of shit."
It's hilariously slow. It's hilarious to look at. It makes a hilarious noise as the 76 horsepower inline 4 roars to life in an desperate attempt to move itself up to highway speeds. It's the most boring and forgettable car that I have ever driven. But I actually kind of like it. It devours the endless potholes I encounter, pulls 44 mpg, and keeps 100 miles of commuting torture off of my BH everyday I take it to work.
The Prius started its life as a fleet vehicle for the State of New Jersey. At some point, most likely in the 150k-200k mile range, it was sold at auction to a guy who used it for commuting to NYC. Then, at 250,532 miles, it was thrown up on Craigslist and sold to me for $2,000.
Absolutely nothing will be done to this car ever, except for maintenance and popping that dent out. White Lightning probably doesn't even deserve this thread but I figured I'd post it up to show you what my Outback/wannabe Lancaster6 has to share the driveway with.
Mod List:
-Aerodynamic dent
-Cracked air dam for optimum fuel efficiency
-80 gallons of soda spilled in back seat
-Landfill's worth of trash scattered throughout car
-'"Cool Prius!" -Nobody' decal
