I hate the fucking prius
 

Ive been stuck driving a ------- company prius all God dammed week long and I want to shoot myself in the head. I seriously don't see what people see in these cars. Its slower than a bone stock civic, DOES not get anything close to 50MPG, been less than 40mpg today over 80 miles... the steering has no feel and its uglier than that mole on my ass. Don't get me started about the gay ass brakes that are either on or off and everyone assumes I'm gay if there's any guy in the car.

What I don't understand is, If people really give a damn about the environment, why not recycle an old civic or a tdi jetta that gets 50mpg.. alright rant over, ps I know its only wed, its been a long ass week

it really has

I rented a Prius in Florida last summer. Despite not being able to disable the ABS/Traction control, being gutless, and generally unsafe on dirt roads, I liked it. It was like driving a space ship. On the freeway, I got 50-54 mpg by drafting big rigs over the course of about 400m. The shitty brake feel lets you know when you've gone from regenerative braking to the real brakes.

I see alot of them at work, and like your typical Subaru owner, they attract a certain crowd for sure.

They don't care about the environment. They want to consume with a green wrapper, since old cars aren't eco friendly because the paint is a little faded and the dent in the fender totally creates aerodynamic drag.

I've been meaning to commision our boy imburne to make "50+ mpg" and "A recycle sticker on your new car means you don't get it" stickers for my beater so I can see how many dirty looks the Prius fags shoot me.

Could you not speak of the mole on your ass? Thanx.

Re: I hate the fucking prius
 

i'll take an old crx hf thx

Re: I hate the fucking prius
 

what they need to do is build cars like they did befor, remember those tin cans like the crx that weigh nothing. ------- prius weighs like 2800lbs an HF was 1700lbs, theres your loss right there. i would have no problem driving a car with no airbags or all that fancy ---- if it got 50+ on a simple NA motor, none of this ------- high voltage battery packs and generators and ---- thats weighs obscene ammounts.

Re: I hate the fucking prius
 

the seat in my wrx is 80lbs.

the seat in a crx is like 25lbs


why can't car makers go back to BASE model cars? nissan did it with the versa for under 10k..... and it sells like mad. smart move.

Thaaankksssss

Re: I hate the fucking prius
 

why you ask...because we live in societies, where the more you have the better, and auto makers love overcharging you, ex. adding fog lights as on option on a 2009 civic here in canada, will cost you aroung 800$, last time i checked with 800$ i can buy 5 sets of fogs for that price..

Re: I hate the fucking prius
 

The US government is basically going to end up determining what you drive. They've regulated the ---- out of cars to the point where it's impossible for them to build what people WANT. That's why diesels arn't very popular around here because no one wants to build them.

Plus union contracts usually forbid the importing of ---- like diesels from places like europe and japan, and it's just too expensive for auto companies to retool here to produce them So they say ---- it.

Re: I hate the fucking prius
 

I blame California.

Re: I hate the fucking prius
 

I blame the gov't thinking it needs to pass laws to force protection of retarded people, and the environment.

If i want to buy a tin can with a power to weight ratio of a crotch rocket I should be able too.
If I want to buy a tank to protect my family I should be able to.

But it's not possible cause the tin can needs a ton of crash tested equipment added to protect retards that expect to be able to survive a crash in the tin can up against a semi.

And I can't buy a tank because and all cars need to evolve into tin cans to save weight enough to fit said crash equipment and still meet EPA regulations.

I agree with this:

Re: I hate the fucking prius
 

I blame canada.

Re: I hate the fucking prius
 

Definitely.

In a way I was happy to see there is a CRX resurrection.

But at the same time, I know it's going to be a steamy pile of ---- because the gov't would never allow the minimalist CRX we had before.

Re: I hate the fucking prius
 

Those priuses are a pain in the ass to jump start, the battery is in the truck that doesn't open without battery power. :1

You have to dig all the ---- out the trunk through the back seat and jump it that way.

You ------- love it, Towdogg.

Re: I hate the fucking prius
 

I buy a tin can. Drive perfectly. Idiot drives tank. Drives like an idiot. Said idiot hits me with a tank and damn near kills me. Who is at fault? Well, even by libertarian standards it's a gray area because said individual's decisions had an impact on your life. It's also a governmental issue because they are supposed to regulate traffic and drivers. So the end result is you end up with laws, restrictions, and bullshit. You can say whatever you want, but if the end the direction of things makes some amount of sense. Until you rid the world of idiocy and failure, there will always be an agency trying to limit idiocy and failure. Sadly enough it normally isn't a darwinistic thing when someone dies in a car accident or on the job accident. It's some innocent SOB.

BULLSHIT!
