This post will offend most blind people --
Mar. 8th, 2007 10:47 pm-- But they won't be able to read it anyway.
The Mustang GT Convertible doesn't have front wheel drive which -- to anyone living in or around the part of the country that gets rushed by ice and snow every year -- is an immediate turn off. They also jacked up the price by about four thousand dollars which was an amount that, strangely, didn't magically find its way into my bank account. So bye-bye, Mustang, it was a pleasure sitting astride your gear shaft at eighty miles per hour (it really, really was.)
I'm looking into a Toyota -- maybe a Prius -- because of its fuel economy and because Bill Nye (THE SCIENCE GUY!) drives one. Inertia is a property of matter, you know. And because a Prius is well within my price range. I could get a gently used Prius for about $14,500 if my local dealer is to be trusted.
Also? Wikipedia tells me that blind people hate Priuses because they're so quiet -- the cars, not the blind people (blind people, I've found, make up for their disability by talking really loudly) -- and 'dem visually-impaired folks can't hear them when they try to cross the street.
Cost-efficient, fuel-efficient and a bumper magnet for blind people?
Suh-old.
