Guys with Trucks are better.

I cant believe how quiet the prius is. I've driven so many and you literally dont even know their running!

On my way to the airport this morning I past a first-gen Honda Insight (the one that had a 350 lb capacity for passengers/cargo... useless) with the plate 404NTFND- a reference to the web error when a page is down/missing. I wasn't sure how it related to cars but then I did- the "not found" is in reference to horsepower. Dude was doing like 50 on I94 near the Detroit airport, where traffic is usually at like 80. Lucky he didn't get run over by a real car.

I drove past a Prius on a country road proudly driving along in his econobox below the speed limit and when I let my V8 roar going past him he nearly drove off of the road!

I was getting my team at work lunch today and I had to merge onto the freeway and wouldnt you know it a Prius refused to move over to let me on so I just stomped on it and let my V8 pur as I left him behind.

[Colossus]

Why do you people let Prius drivers get to you? Seriously. They drive what they love, you drive what you love.

[GPGuy]

I don't think they're getting to anyone....they just make us smirk a bit.

[Colossus]

ahh well.. cheers.

We all laugh and mock Prius', but nothings worse than a smartcar. You might save money but in a collision of 65MPH your dead.

Recently there was a story of a smart car who hit a motorcycle. The driver of the smartcar died

And that's why I would never own a smart car.

You've never been to autocross/ track event with a Miata. They will absolutely butcher much, much nicer, more powerful cars on a tight short course.

Yes, of course you can set up any track to favor one type of car over another. On the local road course, Miatas are what I call rolling chicanes. In the straights and in the corners.

I don't have much issues with Prius's around here, in fact I don't see too many. My only issue is I pull a trailer loaded with two John Deere's 5-days a week. I see people pull up behind me at a light, and then literally nearly take out other cars to get out from behind me and in to the lane beside me. I know what's on their mind. This guy has all this weight and is going to take off like a granny. When they pull up beside me and the light turns green I let the Vortec leave them sitting like a duck at the light, while they feel stupid for jumping over into the "fast" lane and getting behind the "slow" car while I'm blowing by with two tractors on the back.

 

 

 

As for smart cars, I see them quite a bit around here. In fact, I seen one at Walmart today parked with half the car across the lines taking up too spots. How hard could it be to park a smart car? I thought to myself, the smart car must have out smarted the driver.

On a side note, I'm waiting to hit 500,000 miles on my Vortec so I can put up the 500,000 mile sticker and leave the ford/mopar/foreign guys drooling on themselves. I love these LS engines, despite the oil leaks. I fix one oil leak and then spring another, fix it, then another. If my Vortec isn't dripping oil in the driveway, then chances are it's out of oil. Aside from leaks, I'd be highly confident to say the Vortec motors are some of the toughest, longest lasting, and hardest working engines made. Did a compression test today 140- across all 8 at 350,000 miles. Find me a Ford that can say that.
