Prius Hate Crime

***SMWS6TA*** · 07-24-2013, 07:14 AM

I swear I was not in Virginia.....I don't condone screwing with other ppl's property but

Someone in Arlington, VA really hates Priuses. (Or is the plural Priusi?) Police report that Monday night 15 Prius parked overnight on driveways, apartment parking lots and the street were found with punctured tires. The vandal appeared to exclusively target the Toyota hybrid. They also got a Smart car.

More than a dozen people spread throughout north and south Arlington woke up Monday morning with slashed car tires, and the vandal had a pretty specific target.

Police say they found fingerprints consistent with someone leaning on the car while cutting the tires.

I truly hate those cars. The hypocrisy they represent and mostly their smug owners.

Same here but I wouldn't vandalize someone else's car. People here have such a low regard for other people's property and common sense that it is repulsive. BMW and Mercedes drivers are the same but once I had a prius driver try and out run my TA lol.

Just like the plural of cactus is cactii, the plural of Prius is Prii...

I wonder why the Smart car. It's not electric...

A buddy of mine has a tricked out Smart Car (it's not the name but still has the body). Damn thing is like riding in a go cart with steroids.

It easily can hit 95 (been in it) quickly, maneuvers like crazy.

my best guess would be that if you're out slashing tires then you probably have a problem with the word "smart".

Reading this story you came to mind immediately

The problem in Northern Virginia is not that they are hybrids, the problem is that Prius drivers are always in the passing lane going slower than other traffic!

**GTP231** · 07-24-2013, 05:37 PM

They do that in every state.

**0rion** · 07-24-2013, 06:55 PM

best I could tell when I drove through VA last month was that everyone who drives in the left lane takes extra precaution to make sure they aren't going faster than the right lane.

The ones I come across are acting like they are race cars.

That and every old foreign (Indian, Chinese) lady attempting to drive.

I actually had a Prius owner give me the finger last Sunday. His tags read H8SGAS, naturally had all the go green stickers and bullshit on his car and was sitting in the passing lane. So, I passed him in the truck and he comes back around me...wife is scowling and he's flipping me the bird.

Don't hate learn to love them

The gas they are saving can go to fuel our beasts,I smile and wave if they happen to look my way and most of the time I get a WTF puzzled look

I love getting in front of them and blowing black smoke on them in all three of my vehicles. My diesel makes them cringe the most though
