What's worse than driving behind a Prius?
 
Driving behind a Prius in the SNOW when you are driving a 4WD Jeep.
:shakes head:

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. :bowrofl:

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. :D

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.

Yes, and what was the carbon offset to produce their battery, etc?

Tell them to go research how to produce and dispose of a nickel metal hydride battery.

Not driving behind a Pirus, but last year going to ZdayZ a damn Pirus wanted to keep up with us in the highway, we were doing about 75mph.

It was kind of funny because he keep trying to past the leading car but he didn't have the power especially on the hills.
