My wife recently brought home a new 2015 Prius-v

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!

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?

Where do you put all your guns and supplies?

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.

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.

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......”

Quiche recipe w/bacon. (W/ Bacon so it is manly girly quiche)

Ingredients:

All-purpose flour, for rolling
1 homemade or store-bought single-crust pie dough
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cups medium diced yellow onion (from 1 large onion)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
6 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (4 ounces)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly flour a rolling pin and work surface and roll out dough to a 12-inch round. Place in a 9-inch pie plate, fold overhang under, and crimp edge. Place a sheet of parchment paper over dough and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edge is dry and light golden, about 20 minutes. Remove parchment and weights.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until light golden, 8 to 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and cream. Add onion, bacon, and cheese and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk to combine, pour into crust, and bake until center of quiche is just set, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature

One thing I know for sure. I never get behind a Prius on the road. Prius drivers are infatuated with driving by wire. They constantly watch their gage playing a game to beat their last best mileage. So annoying. They drive 5 mph under the speed limit and take 23 minutes to get up to speed from a stop light.

Worst possible encounter?

An Asian woman driving a Prius! Ahhhhhhhhhh......

The Prius has a spot in the glove compartment for men to place their testicles before sitting down.

So the single guy was holding two grocery sacks under his arms. He asked his date—a big blonde gal—to reach into his front pocket for the house key.
She had been impressed with his new Cadillac and had listened attentively while he explained all the options and extras.

She pulled out the house keys and along with them, a couple plastic golf tees.
“What are these things? she asked.

He replied, “Those hold my balls up while I’m driving on the fairway.’
“MY goodness! What will those people at Cadillac think of next?”
