Does cruising by a car in the carpool lane count as a "kill?" If that counts, I've killed an E55 AMG and an SRT-4.

I had a 2000 Mirage DE Coupe that would run an 18 and that car was super slow. I cant see how thse guys say they are beating everyone, unless the other driver doesnt know about the race at hand.

I run my Impreza STS due to a swaybar change, which the Prius could use too. The Prius was bought as my commuter car, to save miles on the Impreza, but I find I actually enjoy driving it. It has been a pleasant surprise (except the seats).
