What's worse than driving behind a Prius?

Driving behind a Prius in the SNOW when you are driving a 4WD Jeep.

It would be worse if you would be driving the Prius...

lol that's rough. So you probably get it in all seasons: In the summer in the Z, in the winter in the Jeep.

I had the opposite today. I was stuck behind some stupid AWD Saab SUV doing 15 mph on his crappy all seasons and I'm in a 2WD pos with snow tires wanting to get past. At least it wasn't a Prius I guess.

Could be behind a scooter.

i've been stuck behind 4x4s in my Z with snow tires. i would imagine those 'low rolling resistance' tires on the prius must not be very good in snow.

What's worse? Getting pulled over a mile down the street after blowing by the prius. Then sitting there while it comes limping by smirking.

I was going to say... 'driving behind an old smog spewing diesel with your windows down' but I'm pretty sure driving a Prius would be worse than that.

I hate when a hybrid owner says how much they save at the pump. Then I remind them of how slow their car is, how bland it looks, how cheap the interior is, and how much of a premium they had to pay for the hybrid.
