Nice timing.

i will celebrate earth day by, for one day, not yelling at the pretentious louts driving Prius' to hurry the f up. i hate being behind those suckers.

A friend of mine recently complained that he doesn't like Prius drivers because they think they can drive faster than everyone else because they get good gas mileage. Quite the opposite of your gripe. The truth is Prius have excellent acceleration and when pushed to high speeds (which they can attain quite nicely) actually gives them better road hugging than most vehicle due to their design. My Prius would blow my '65 Malibu off the road. I don't get it about Prius hating. It's a fine vehicle with great engineering. And it's affordable. In the 8 years I've had mine I've saved enough in gas to more than make up for the difference in cost of the Corolla we looked at and the Prius is a much better vehicle.

Oh, and I don't celebrate earth day. Every day is earth day.

ever Prius i've been behind seems to like to go about 45 in a 55 zone. maybe it's just the Prius drivers themselves but i swear when i see a Prius it's like the old matchbox electronic track cars that cruise at a low speed...then drivers hits gas and it jets forward fast for a few seconds, then back to to the slow cruising speed. it's maddening to me.

Come to California- you won't see much of that kind of nonsense driving, haha!

Actually, out here there are basically three kinds of drivers, 1) hot doggers, 2) timid slow pokes and 3) slow drivers with enough ego to stomp on the gas if you try to pass them.
Oh and one other-- me. Haha!
