Typical Prius driver

made my day

Posted by Ricky_from_TV

that woman in the Prius needs a big punch in the mouth and an education... that diesel pickup probably took less energy and pollution to build than her Prius. It's also a more recyclable vehicle than the Prius.

I lasted about 45 seconds into the clip before I hit stop... As much as i dislike imports and trucks, I would NEVER think of doing something like that. It's just pretentious and fucking rude.

Why didn't the truck people throw her in the water?

Seen this before. Never have I wished someone to roll coal so badly. I was thrown a few snide comments once in Ashville NC while in my XJ. At a red light. I just started power braking it while mouthing "I can't hear you".

You notice how there's 2 priuses ? Maybe he interrupted some kind of Prius owners meeting.

In the den of the beast!

hmmmmm 8000lb truck and 20+ mpg vs 2900 at 45 mpg. Dont see the efficiency there.....

Seems someone may have been suffering from that monthly visitor.

I would have told her to bugger off and mind her own business telling her that her yapping is making too much pollution and guzzling precious time.

Listening to the rest of her ranting made me wonder if she was talking to herself. She is definitely one to talk about being courteous. I probably would gun the engine just to piss her off some more and then call the cops and say she`s harassing me and my family.

I hate Corvettes (sorry to any Corvette fans). I especially hate modified ones.

HOWEVER- I was happy that this was parked beside a Prius. Because I hate the Prius and what it stands for a LOT more.

And I'm sorry the photo sucks.

I'm not sure which I would take a can of gasoline and a book of matches to first: the Prius, or that horrid lump of yellow plastic.

...the Prius has better suspension.

How come every time I get stuck behind someone doing 20 under the speed limit, no matter time of day, is always driving a Prius? It is an unwritten rule, it is never any other make of vehicle.


I would like to shake this gentleman's hand...

I pass priuses any chance I get, and it's usually not too hard to do.

I don't like the styling, (C2 excluded), don't like the way they drive, don't like the way they handle, the interior (especially in the more modern ones) is a bad joke, and the people who own them tend to be absolute morons who think they have the fastest car and best handling car in the universe. They have leaf springs (until fairly recently) for fuck sakes!

I've driven every generation except for the C1 and C7 and honestly, they do absolutely nothing for me. I was the "Corvette Guy" at the GM dealership because I was the one who went on that training course... I realize they go fast for the money and stuff, but they're just not a very nice car to drive at all. I have a loyal customer with an '03 50th anniversary edition as well as a fire engine red 2006 Z06 and if I may be brutally honest, the cars both drive like a piece of shit. A quick piece of shit, yes, but if I was to spend that much money on a car, I wouldn't want it sharing steering column trim with the Cavalier of the same vintage. (No offense), there's glue oozing out all around where the floor pans have been bonded in, the body panel alignment is just awful, there's terrible wind noise... I've just always felt the Corvette drove like a hopped up truck. I've also driven pile of C3s. And I don't want to speak about those experiences. I'd rather drive a Fiero than a C3. (Having said that, I sorta love Fieros.)

Then there's the owners. Middle aged men with no chin and no original dreams. They've got the Corvette hat, jacket, wallet, T-Shirt, money clip, socks and they're all members of the owners club- where they park at a coffee shop, talk about golfing, ED and which type of ATF they should use when the flush their tranny... and then go home to watch 60 Minutes and down a light beer.

Hypermiling morons, that's why! Can't get 55 mpg if you're doing the speed limit.

I'm pretty sure you summed up 90% of vette drivers. And I wanted to add that the only cars I ever see Prius's passing are the old fucks driving there corvettes in the slow lane!

personally, i have always been more of a Camaro guy. I always felt that Corvettes and to a certain extent some Porsches were the car of choice for the mid-life crisis folks out there. Only recently has a slot been made for Harley-Davidson motorcycles as well. I have driven a couple of Vettes and yeah, there were fun, but nothing I would drive. Personally, I found the Saturn Sky Redline and Pontiac Solstice GXP WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more fun to pound around it. Quicker, felt like a knife in your hand in corners and made awesome noises when the 2.0 got opened up. The problem with those cars was my (at the time) 345lbs ass getting in and out of it.

I was just wondering why the hate is all.
