Toyota Prius--WTF?
I'm at a red light, in the left lane of two lanes that narrow to one lane after the intersection. A nice new silver Prius hybrid is on my right. Now, I'm at this intersection every day, and always get through it first...most people just let me go, seeing what I drive. But at the green light, the Prius guy floors it to get in front of me before the lanes merge. I was kind of asleep at the wheel, so he's already two car lengths on me and I'm like "What the F---?" So I give it a little punch and squirt past. What the H-E-double hockey sticks was up with that? Must have been some angry little nerd.

My life is a- Ben Stiller movie.
that little earth-sensitive, green-peace, tree-hugger didn't want to be behind a good ole fashioned v8. That's funny. Guess he was trying to say "well, my eco-car should be at the front of the...WHAOAOAOAOAOAOOAA!!!!"

there's better hybrids out there that don't look like ass...the accord for one. I seriously think the prius owners think their fast....maybe it's from the torque of the electric motor

it wasnt a joke
an electric motor will always be capable of more torque than an engine

elec motor=67 hp 295 lbs torque
0 to 60 10secs not bad considering you get 3000 dollar tax incentive. The bad news 3 month wait.
Good second car.

10 seconds...damn that's slow as hell. A v6 pickup can do it in 9, pretty sad. I do like the accord hybrids though...they even sqeezed out more hp than the reg v6.

I'm waiting for Hydrogen cars to come out. I would be afraid to drive a Prius on the roads where I live anyhow. God forbid you get hit from behind in one of those things.
