If you need to a car to compensate for some shortcoming you have, go buy a Mustang.
Of course, people who feel the need to own three Porsches have absolutely zero shortcomings or self-image issues.

Yes, some dorky woman was racing me in her Prius today, I just kept a little ahead of her and looked at her once in a while, she wanted to pass me sooooo bad.

The Prius is a very impressive car. Beyond the MPG, its utility is amazing. If it can swallow a bicycle with both wheels attached, I'm sold. Otherwise, I'd look at a diesel Golf or Jetta wagon.

I do that all the time with a mountain bike, but you need to fold the rear seats down.

Solar roof panel? Just leave it running, it has an electric ac compressor. Another benefit to doing so is someone might steal it b/c you can't lock the doors with it on.

I've been trying, no takers yet.
