    BELLEVUE, Wash. — A Bellevue family’s catalytic converter was stolen from their Prius and it was caught on surveillance video. The family told KIRO 7 that they are grateful they did not go to the door last week Monday after hearing a loud noise outside. Just before 5 a.m., two people showed up at the Bellevue home. While one man got underneath the car, the other stood guard with a gun pointed at the home. Police said they are investigating. “I hate to say that a thief is smart but they know what vehicles to target,” said Bryan Davis, a...

    Yes, I do have a sad story of being cut off by someone driving a Prius. It was bad but nearly as bad as the idiot doing 80+ MPH in that car. You look like an idiot driving like that in that type of car—seriously. Granted, I’m madder at myself that I let this d-bag do this to me on the road, but Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has a new ad that should strike a chord with most people. She’s feisty. She knows how to get media attention—and she can withstand the punches they dole out. She has been...

    Demonstrators had gathered at 7 p.m. at Hollywood Forever Cemetery before marching through the streets of Hollywood. They were decrying the announcement Wednesday that just one of three Louisville, Ky., police officers involved in the death of Breonna Taylor, who was shot to death in a bungled raid of her apartment, had been charged with a crime. The one indicted officer, Brett Hankison, was charged not in connection with Taylor’s death but for allegedly firing blindly into her apartment building. The charging decision, anticipated for months, has infuriated people throughout the country and spurred large protests, including one Wednesday night...

    JAPAN—You probably knew it by now, but today Toyota officially announced that the Prius is gay. The auto giant said it was long past time to let the public in on the vehicle's dirty little secret; and the announcement shocked almost nobody. "We felt the time was right for Prius to come out of the closet,” Toyota spokesman Andrew Welsh explained. "It's Pride month 2020, and let's be honest, a lot of strange things have happened this year. We thought a hybrid car coming out as gay might even seem normal in a year like this." Though most normal people...

    We were lucky to live through the most beautiful time in Los Angeles' history. A decade when we were all equal in public: the struggling actor and the head of a studio, the caterer and the cateree, the nonprofit lawyer and the very-profit lawyer, It was a moment when liberal Los Angeles' desire to virtue-signal overpowered our desire to success-signal. When people who dreamed their entire lives of owning a Porsche and could now afford said Porsche, bought that Porsche but left it in their garage and bitterly drove a Prius to work, to parties and to restaurants. Shortly after...

    Anyone who’s lived in California will advise you to never leave anything of value out and visible inside a parked car. That’s just an open invitation for a car thief to break in. But now it seems thieves are going beyond ransacking a car’s interior: A San Francisco woman returned to her Toyota Prius only to find the car disassembled and its main battery pack stolen. Multiple reports say that Marjory Kaplan parked her 2017 Prius just down the block from her apartment in Pacific Heights. Upon returning to her vehicle, she found that someone had stolen the Prius’ mid-mounted...

    Jordan Felo had just finished hiking in the local mountains outside Portland, Ore., several weeks ago and was headed home in his 2010 Toyota Prius when it suddenly lost power and slowed to a crawl. Felo had taken the Prius to a Toyota dealer a few weeks earlier for a 2018 safety recall. New software was installed to fix an overheating problem in the electrical power system. Yet when Felo hit the accelerator pedal, a key electronic component called an inverter overheated and fried itself. “I was lucky nobody was behind me because I would have been rear-ended,” recalled Felo,...

    I would wager that even if you're someone who bleeds Ferrari red and has bones made from old Chevrolet Camaros, you would consider buying a Prius, if you honestly considered the decision..... Seeing it actually happen in reality is another story. What a glorious car. I don't care if it's the automotive equivalent of eating low-fat plain yogurt. I'm happy to suffer that pain. Besides, it's a comfortable car. The seats aren't benches of wood. You can make the AC blow as hard as you want. It can play classic rock, and play it sort of loud. The Prius cultivates...

    We have long ragged on BMW drivers for their terrible parking skills and general assholery, and Toyota Prius drivers for their holier-than-thou smugness. Now, it has been confirmed — through the miraculous power of science — that their owners are, in fact, terrible and inconsiderate motorists. Our old pal Benjamin Preston reports in the New York Times on a study done by the Institute of Personality and Social Research at the University of California Berkeley which links poor driving habits and wealth. Basically, rich people are more likely to be jerks behind the wheel. The researchers examined how motorists in...
