Default Well, I wouldn't call it racing lol

So this morning this prius was in such a hurry, so I decdied to pace him in my T/A. We get to a red light and he takes off, so do I, but I kept the engine under 2500rpms and he was right beside me lol

So their little eco car has to redline to keep up to my 2500rpms, SO that leads me to my next question...
Who's really burning more gas lol

Prius is burning more gas. WOT means using gasoline.
There was a thing on Top Gear where they put the Prius and an M3 around the track. The Prius was flooring it, and all the M3 had to do was keep up. The M3 ended up with much better gas mileage. It was basically to explain about how driving habits play the largest part in your gas mileage.

I could average 14-25ish in my V, but instead...

So OP knows for a fact he went WOT? I suppose if he "heard" it redline the gas engine was running.

Doesn't matter. One of those batteries it uses is worse to the environment than 5 years of your v8.

GG prius. I make it a habit everytime I see a prius down here and I am in the ram to cut him off. Why? because I'm an ******* but if you buy a ******* prius you are the gayest mother ****** alive. And you're probably a bigger ******* than me anyway.

One day I really want to run into one to see how it would withstand a hit from the srt10. Maybe next time I'm drunk and I see one parked I'll try to run it over.

Lol.

I really don't give a **** about the environment. You think the environment gives a **** about me? I'm going to live my life. Not worry that in 2,500 years the world will end. Who the **** cares?

My SRT10 gets 7mpg, my 5th gen 9mpg and my honda 12mpg. Ask me if I give a ****. When asked how I feel about my pickup being dangerous to the environment I say watch this and usually throw it up on the median of the roads here (which are grass and trees) and **** the grass up and run over the little trees.

Hilarious and true! The plants that refine the raw chemicals for the batteries have literally have deadzones surrounding them that are miles wide.

Same, all the time. I go out of my way because I hate them so much. I am seeing more and more everywhere and I get pissed off every time I do.

It's the kind of thing where I check my mirror and normally wasn't going to merge but I see a Prius, I'll merge anyways. **** them "Pri-uses" as Clarkson calls them haha.

LOL **** is so funny. My dad owns a fit and he got it because of the gas mileage, but when that cars packed with a/c on blast he has to get on it just to change lanes, its pretty shitty on gas then.

My dad has a prius, not because he thinks he's some environment saving hero, but because he liked being able to use it in the carpool lane and he likes 50MPG, not all prius drivers are high and mighty hippy douches! I still make fun of him about his car, of course
