Differences in these Javascript function declarations
<p>Today I saw two different types of Javascript function declarations and I'd like to have a deeper understanding of the two:</p>

<pre><code>function Car( model, year, miles ){
   this.model = model;
   this.year    = year;
   this.miles  = miles;
}

/*
 Note here that we are using Object.prototype.newMethod rather than 
 Object.prototype so as to avoid redefining the prototype object
*/
Car.prototype.toString = function(){
    return this.model + " has done " + this.miles + " miles";
};

var civic = new Car( "Honda Civic", 2009, 20000);
var mondeo = new Car( "Ford Mondeo", 2010, 5000);

console.log(civic.toString());
</code></pre>

<p>and type 2:</p>

<pre><code>function Car( model, year, miles ){
   this.model = model;
   this.year    = year;
   this.miles  = miles;
   this.toString = function(){
       return this.model + " has done " + this.miles + " miles";
   };
}


var civic = new Car( "Honda Civic", 2009, 20000);
var mondeo = new Car( "Ford Mondeo", 2010, 5000);

console.log(civic.toString());
</code></pre>

<p>Specifically the 'prototype' and the 'this.toString'.</p>

<p>Can anyone impart some pearls of JS wisdom?</p>
