Out of interest are you on stock exhaust?

Nice story

This sounds like science fiction. You mean to tell me that a Prius driver politely pulled over to allow someone to pass.

All kidding aside last month I had my sixth Prius pull over for me. Not what I would consider polite or a good record over ten years. The Prius driver to me is the new Volvo driver. Rude and inconsiderate. I have had Prius drivers tell me that by slowing me down they are saving the planet. You should see their faces when I tell them, "Every time somebody like them deliberately will not pull over, I go home and put a piece of coal in the fireplace. When it's cold I burn it. So if you want to prevent this just let me by." I do not think it works but maybe someday...

I had something similar happen to me a few months back. I was on the highway in the right lane and a woman in a Prius was in the center lane. I was probably closing at ~15 mph and she was going fairly slow... as I got closer, she starts to pull over into my lane so I can't get over... forcing me to slow down. I move over to the center lane and she does as well, so I slowly move to the left and of course she moves over as well. So I drop it to 3rd and make a quick lane change and pull on by to the right.

Stupid lady. If she was really concerned about the environment she'd have left me continue since the Z is pretty efficient at highway speed. She effectively caused me to kill more of the environment. What a bitch.

It was more like I didn't really wait long enough for the guy to take his foot off the brake and step on the gas.

I always tell my friend who has a Prius, "Whenever a Prius is next to me at a red light I like to rev my engine so it can hear me hurting the environment."

The Prius should come with a baseball card rubber banded to the brake caliper.

I hate every person who drives a Prius. They are almost as bad a BMW drivers. They act like they are better than anyone else on the road and I swear, every time i see one i feel like they try and piss me off....."oooh look at me in my ugly car saving the earth, oooh im better than everyone else"---sweet go drive off a cliff

They're not fooling anyone with those ugly "eco" cars. The carbon footprint of the Prius factory, the strip mines needed for the parts/batteries/electric engine, the chemicals, the run off, and not to mention the plastics FROM OIL that gives them the plush interior to act like a snob from is FAR WORSE than if they had just bought a 10 year old Civic.

If they really cared about the planet they should have bought a used car. Instead, they buy a status symbol so they'd have a reason to act like jerks.

We found a Prius in our way to ZdayZ 2010.

It was funny because even that we were doing almost the speed limit he was trying to keep up with us didn't matter what.

ProfessorDave · 10-01-2010, 08:58 PM

You see the deer was not afraid of the Prius because she perceived it to be a timid woodland creature. Safe. Cuddly. Not going to eat her. The deer is obviously not an honors student among species, and knows nothing about how her relatives have been killed or forced out of their environment so nickel could be mined for the rain-forest friendly Prius.

The deer, however, was afraid of the Z, because the Z is a predator. The deer took one look (or listen) of the Z and knew someone (thing) was going to have to be the biotch in this scenario. So she likely ran off to a safe distance to watch the Z make the Prius crawl on the floor with the mail in its mouth like Maggie Gyllenhaal in "the secretary".

Moral of the story: Deer lives. Prius goes home with tail between its legs. Maggie Gyllenhaal goes home with the guy in the Z. Just like Darwin said.

Nice story!
