I recently committed automotive heresy for a car guy: I bought a Toyota Prius.
(Excerpt) Read more at businessinsider.com ...
I LOVE IT!!!!! My recent rides have been Expedition, Suburban(BEST EVER, drove it to Alaska), a flock of pickups and a handful of motorcycles.
The Prius manual is over an inch thick, all English, mostly computer stuff.
Not fast, about like a loaded pickup.
2,000 miles and averaging 50 MPG. The worse the traffic jam, the better the MPG! I think the MPG drops off over 65 mph.
Did I mention that I LOVE THE PRIUS!
They are nice on the inside. What year?
You’ll be eating quiche soon.
Are you logged on?
Do you now have to take regular testosterone replacement shots to counteract the effects? Or spend a few hours a day in a Northern Tool & Equipment showroom?
Do your Birkenstocks slip off the brake pedal?
Where do you put all your guns and supplies?
To each his own but can it haul my 40 FT 5th wheel toy hauler??? Don’t stop short in front of me lol.
To each his own. I much prefer a car with space. That said, a few years ago I rented a Toyota Corolla, expecting to hate it. I didn’t. It was great for a car in its class. MUCH better than the Honda Civics and Ford Contours I have driven in the past, and even the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger I’ve rented more recently.
I’ll still take a full sized Chevy Caprice or Buick Roadmaster, or an older Chrysler Imperial or Olds 98, gas mileage be darned.
Once say a Prius with a radar detector in it!!! LMAO
If you haven’t driven a Ford Super Duty diesel you ain’t drivin’...
Can you bench press more than 50#? Do they go over 65mph?
My Ford F-150 eats Prius for breakfast.
It is 20 years old this year. I plan to be buried with it.
We have a Prius and a C-Max, we prefer the Ford but they are both stingy on gas. Before you get bent on our hybrids people, we also have a BMW Z-3, Mercedes 300E and Ford F-250(diesel. Oh, I not only eat quiche, I make it.
good thing you got a 2015 — the 2016 looks goofy
Well time for the obligatory Prius Joke...
What does a Prius sound like when idleing?
“HOMO HOMO HOMO HOMO”
What does a Prius sound like going down the highway?
“IIIIIIIIIII’m GAYYYYYYYYY......”
You need to put a “Smartcar” in the bed of the truck with a license that reads “SPARE”.
Wait until the battery light comes on ... then your dealer will love you to the tume of 5K plus...
You knew you were in for hell for posting this, right? :)
