So embarrassing

Do not snicker or lol. A Prius, and he said “why do you drive such a large truck” and I said “ because I can” oh well.

Lol, this post proves you can’t actually drive a large truck.

Welp, we apparently have a bunch of Neanderthals. I have several hotrod vehicles plus I have a 2016 Prius. It usually gets 60+ mpg, it’s comfortable, drives and handles quite good. When I drive it the mileage drops into the 50s. I have no qualms driving it because my self-respect doesn’t hinge on what I’m driving or what “people” think about me or my life choices. The most reliable rule to know is that a person can be smart, but “people” are stupid.

I have no problems with what people drive. The only time I start arguing is when people say they drive a Prius to save the environment. If it’s for the mpg, no issues, only when they say it’s for the environment.

The carbon footprint of all these EV are worse than the worst gas guzzlers. Making the batteries and then disposing of the batteries is horrible for the environment. Then there is the charging aspect. Where do people think electricity comes from. Just burning more fossil fuels to generate electricity. The masses are so misinformed it’s ridiculous.

I don't like it when the self righteous prius drivers then want to try and drive on the highway like they are not the gas mileage princess they are. get you prius out of the passing lane and into the right lane at 60mph where you belong so you can save your precious MPG.

Left lane hogs are either from illinois, or driving a prius......dont get me started on prius with Illinois plates......makes my head boil. had one this christmas doing the speedlimit in the left lane....hogging up traffic and waved at me every time i flashed to get her to move over. she refused....always stayed in the left lane....when it was finally safe to pass her on the right, a line of 10 of us gave her the finger as we drove by..........she never moved from the left lane.

We get them on the mountain and they’ll drive 1/2 the limit on the single lanes and haul ass in the passing lanes to show down again when it goes back to single lol.

LOL I drive pretty much the same whether in the Raptor or the Prius. Now, the kinetic results are obviously different, but unless you're tuned with the speed limiter removed, my Prius will pass you on top speed by about 10 mph @ 117mph. I fully realize the stereotyped Prius driver(s), but there are a few of us that either go with the fast-lane traffic or lead them faster... Just sayin'

Hmmmm? Maybe I should put the Dragy in the Prius to do some time/speed runs?

When this happens, I figure it’s because they can’t see me behind them, so I have made myself more “visible” to the traffic in front of me..... and yes I have done it.

I used to drive mine pretty aggressively. Problem-free vehicle, cost almost nothing to own. When gas was in the low $2/gal range it cost maybe $18-$20 to fill it up. Did my own oil changes, around $26 with filter, tires were $49 each when the time came, after 80k miles never had to change the front brake pads.

I mean... I don’t want to get off on a rant here, but you guys are living large. Try living where you can’t swing a stick without hitting a prius. Between that, and all the high density housing, and overrepresentation of people with licenses only because they really can’t be legally denied them even though they don’t speak a word of English and lots of other bad contributions, and you’ve got a recipe for streets snarled with wannabe hypermilers enforcing their version of road discipline to the consternation of everyone else out there.

I used to have HOV lanes available when I was biking to work. For those of you in Free America, HOV lanes are state mandated 2 or more occupant per vehicle lanes - ... unless you’ve got say a “hybrid” or electric vehicle, or you’re a <insert long list of privileged peeps> or on a motorcycle. I only had a short stretch available but it got me around several choke points. Except on those days I’d merge in behind a line of priussies. If you don’t pass them right away, they fall back to pace the vehicle beside them. Of course, you dare not try to move past them at only a few mph or they’ll floor it to keep you behind them. Nope, you pass the prius with prejudice, or you pay the price in delay. I don’t like to ride like an alpha hotel, but the plain facts on the ground are that the local prius driver population are rude, inconsiderate, selfish, poorly skilled in the art of driving, and exhibit behaviors of a self appoint traffic flow tyrant.

once I had to pass 7 - yes, 7 --perfectly staggered, flying in formation 10mph below the speed limit priussies. None of them would slow, speed or move over so... ok, I passed them with prejudice to their fist shaking consternation.

Now that I no longer need that route and can more easily avoid prius drama, life is so much better. I know not all prius drivers are the arch-typical one, but the overwhelming majority of the ones I’ve met say “Oh, I’m not --that kind-- of prius driver”. Statistically however, if all the prius drivers who assert they aren’t that guy aren’t in fact, that guy, then the numbers don’t add up.
