Contrast this excerpt from the infamous letter from Clyde Barrow to Henry Ford: http://www.snopes.com/business/consumer/barrow.asp "...For sustained speed and freedom from trouble the Ford has got every other car skinned, and even if my business hasen't[sic] been strickly[sic] legal it don't hurt anything to tell you what a fine car you got in the V8."
With this:

Something just feels wrong when thieves use a Prius as their getaway car!
[What is the strangest getaway vehicle you have ever heard of? -Ed.]

I would've known back then, that you do NOT junk a car with a V8, EVER. I just live in the wrong country. I do have a project car though, with a 455 V8. And guess what. I live in a country where gas prices are double that of USA, but when i get my cruiser done, i'll spend every last penny on gas if i have to.

I sent a running, driveable, no rust, no wreck 72 mustang coupe 302 to the junkyard because no one offered anything when I put it up for sale. The junkyard gave me $100 for it back in 1990, I had to get rid of it because we moved. I regret it now.
