There's a Prius forum? FFS, someone should send a link to Topgear ASAP!
Without reading any of the other threads there, I'd have to assume that Rodgers comments would be the most interesting out of everything ever posted there. |

hahaha, who do those prius people think they are fooling?? They have spent 40 thousand dollars to buy an "economical" car, when they could have spent 15 grand on a hyundai with comparable fuel consumption figures!! And the environmental cost of producing a hybrid isnt even offset until the car clocks up 20,000 kms, which makes the hyundai an even better choice for the environment. I mean its total stupidity, I wonder whether they are just trying to make a statement, firstly that they are environmentally conscious, and secondly that they have too much money and not enough common sense.
Luckily for me I care little for the environment or fuel consumption figures. Give me performance and driver satisfaction any day. Also lads for a bit of humour check out Jeremy Clarkson do the Prius on youtube, its gold. Coming from the bloke who said that "driving a corolla is like eating flour", GOLD!! |

one of the modification threads is about mudflaps and what to do with a screw ...says it all really
http://priuschat.com/Rear-mud-flaps-...ew-t38097.html The whole point of a prius is to be kinder for the environment - but overall they have a higher impact on the environment than a normal car.... oh the irony

Think South Park and the Pious episode where they have huge smug clouds.
Then think of the community of Pious owners. A VW Golf gets better fuel economy, actually, on the freeway the BF's get better fuel economy than the pious, and in much more style too. The environmental cost of the manufacture and later disposal of the batteries is right up there with the spent nuclear emmissions, but these green loving weirdo's haven't figured it out yet.

Yeah, was deleted very quickly and my account was suspended within minutes.
Quick rundown, my username was "TheV8(insert c word)" without the editing of course, and me basically saying how hybrids suck compared to v8's Probably not the funniest thing I've ever done online but it was laughable after a few drinks between a mate who was watching me do it and myself.

How cool A forum for Prius cars. I tried to look at their gallery. I wanted to see whether prius owners were into big rims, kits, turbo's or superchargers. Now I ave to register. I hope I see some with Cobra Stripes. Now that would be cool.

They have words for multiple Prius. They call them Prii. WTF, these guys are scary. They make me not want to go out on the road anymore. Oh, and on skidpan, I average 2km per litre, lol.
Or 50L/100k's in our lingo, so thats .705mpg. If I posted that, theyd have nightmares.

Yeah, surely karma has to come into play here. The more prius owners out there caring for the enviroment, the more pre-emissions Falcons/Fairlanes need to be ressurected.

dont know if any of you heard about this, but some guys off the prius forum had a thread about how they could beat mustang gt500's corvette z06's etc. and they were dead serious.
so some guys from genmay.com (another forum) went on there and just generally stired the pot. but then showed all of us genmay'ers the mod section where prius owners put on solid hubcaps to 'improve aerodynamics' i never shook my head so much in my life
