Berserker, Norwegian berserk, Old Norse berserkr (“bearskin”). I thought they fought in bearskins? Either way, this individual is a credit to his tribe.
The comments alone are worth the click!!!
In truth, last time I personally checked anything on a Prius it was the oil, but that was while ago.
My ex biz partner bought a couple as company cars when the green incentives were running hot. Really disliked mine so I have not really followed the Prius world. The newer Teslas are really impressive and am actually seriously considering one as my next personal car.
Window repair man will be happy too.
The boss said, "replace it with 220?"
Keaton said, "220. 221. Whatever it takes."
I admit I did laugh when I saw your original post, because it’s the kind of mistake I understand.
Personally, I wouldn’t even give a Prius the time of day, simply because from day one I viewed them as a “soy boy” car or such...and took great joy in the concept of slapping a bumper sticker on the back of a Prius (especially one owned by some unsuspecting virtue-signaling Leftist POS) that said “This Prius is a Nuclear and Oil Powered Car!” and watching their head explode.
But...having so little interest in them except as a foil to ridicule Leftists, I was ignorant of them. I know all Prius owners aren’t Lefty Virtue Signalers, just the same as all Subaru owners aren’t lesbians but...that doesn’t stop me from laughing at the stereotype. Thing is, I was ignorant of the car, and when I saw your post, I shrugged and thought “Eh. Figures” but I would have been wrong too.
I will say-I am not anti-electric anything. I think pursuing electric aircraft would be pretty cool, especially for our military which would help them sneak up on their foes the way a Prius might sneak up and squash some crosswalk nazi who wouldn’t hear it coming and leap out of the way.
But I take that viewpoint on the basis of merit alone.
When I can drive an electric car from here to Florida, stopping every 400-500 miles (with the heater in February or the AC in July) and fully charge it in a half hour...and can get it at a reasonable price and can charge it at home-I’ll do it. I’ll buy one as my primary car. No question.
But I expect it will take a breakthrough in battery technology or room temperature superconductors to do that, both of which might be possible someday.
But if someone gave me a Tesla Model S today, I wouldn’t throw it out of bed for eating crackers in the rack!
Berserker good, Trunk Monkey funnier:
It's Seattle. Two things cops never do. First, they never enforce the law. Second, they never investigate crime.
Because of the first, the car's owner was forced to take the law into his own hands. Because of the second, the car's owner will never have to answer for taking the law into his own hands.
