My ex-Prius (deceased 6/29/07)

Scrapyard pictures of my Toyota Prius, totalled after it was rear-ended on the 91 Freeway (and then hit again by a large truck on the drivers-side front after the initial collision spun us into the adjacent carpool lane) in Riverside. We were travelling around 65 mph when we were hit. The three people inside (my dad, my brother, and I) all walked away with nothing more than minor scrapes and bruises.

The snapped-in-two yellow pole was the fiberglass handle to a rake that we were bringing along with us to rake up pine needles at my grandparents' cabin.

On the first week that we owned the car, I cracked the lens on the left rear taillight because I hadn't yet learned where the 'corners' of the car were. Eventually I spent ~$200 to replace the whole taillight assembly. Right about now that feels like the dumbest $200 that I ever spent ...
