While out for a cruise I come up behind an old pickup w/ this bumper sticker: "Do something nice today. Mind your own business."
Bet the PU driver's run into the nut or one of her ilk, before.

It must be that all the Prius drivers think they are entiteled to be flaming AZZWIPES. Taking the wife out to dinner last night we were on the on ramp to I17 and had traffic in front of us. This prius starts passing me on the right. I just had to laugh.

Well, went to Waffle House this morning for breakfast. Parked the Vette and got out. Some lady in a Prius pulls in next to me and starts yelling at me that the Vette is killing the enviroment. I said, well your car is killing jobs, it maybe assembled here, but the majority of parts are made in Japan. She walked away mumbling to herself. 
You do why is it that all 30 year olds think they are saving the planet by riding bikes a 15 to 20 mph holding up traffic in a 45mph zone.
No matter what we do as a country the rest of the world is moving on and polluting.

Happens to me in my H3 Hummer so much, I put this(above) and "Prius Eater" in large letters on the back of it. My wife drives it most of the time and says she either gets a thumbs up, or the finger. I actually had a little girl on a bike point at me one day and yell "earth killer!". What the hell are they teaching those kids anyway?
Those mis-guided idiots think they're saving the earth by driving a Prius?
Laughable, just plain ignorance....

It seems funny to me that people buy a Prius to save gas, yet every time I see one on the highway they are the ones driving the fastest and tailgating trying to get around. Even when we are in the Vette doing 70+ they still pass us. On Top Gear they took a Prius on their track and drove as fast as it could handle. They followed it with a BMW driving the same speed and guess which car go the best MPG?

Oops. Just went back a page and saw the posting of the BMW vs. Prius MPG contest. If I drive my Coupe M6 nicely I can get close to 30 MPG. On average, I get equal to or better MPG than my 08 Accord.

I've been challenged at the pump in both the Vette and the H3. No one believes me when I tell them the Vette can get 30 mpg and the H3 20. Why do people pass judgement without doing research?
Really got in to it one day with an old hippie in his Prius, it got ugly! I've learned to enjoy the encounters really.....
