Toyota Prius — It’s Not Even Bullet Proof

Great video review of the Toyota Prius by Jeremy Clarkson (via Ace):

And while we’re talking about the smugness of Prius drivers…

I understand that a lot of you are driving these underpowered little 4-cylinder cars to save gas. And that many more of you are driving at 55-60 mph to save even more.

And that’s fine if that makes sense to you.

But could you do me (and the rest of the people you share the road with) a favor?

Get the fuck out of the fast lane in your pissant of a car.

My ride home through the hill country means that you have to give your car a little extra humph to get up some of these hills while maintaining your speed. And your Prius (or your Honda Fit, or your Ford Focus, or your Kia Whatever) just doesn’t have it.

So, kindly move your ass over to the right so that I can continue on my way at 75-80 mph (and still getting better real mileage than you do at 60 mph in your hybrid).

Or so that the guy driving the 400 hp V-8 who thinks his time is more valuable than a few dollars saved on petrol doesn’t have to put his front grill up against your Obama ‘08-stickered rear bumper.

Oh, and get off the phone, too.

Not only does “Ma Deuce” have a pretty singing voice, and is better looking than a Prius, she is much less expensive.
/except for a her voracious appetitie for .50BMG ammo

Here is a pdf concerning the hype of the advantages of a Prius.
They don’t calculate the smug factor of the enviro-whackos, but South Park already did that, in the season ten episode of “Smug Alert.”

Great video !

The Prius’ name Should be Pious.

Also the nickel in the batteries in the Pious all comes from a plant in Canada that has polluted the area so badly that it is barren land for a few miles’ radius around it.
NASA practices with their moon rovers there.

AMEN!!!! And, they should be outlawed just because they are ugly.

Just for the record: Clarkson is complaining the old model Prius doesn’t meet the specs of the current model. Duh. At least he could have had the courtesy of ‘testing’ the current model. Doing that was probably not within his budget.
