You MUST be talkin about your fellow Prius peddelers. Smug little Di*k wads. I will admit to lane changing the paint off yer front bumper when I have to pass on the right because you think you own the fast lane even though you can't peddle that POS at the speed limit, and no you don't deserve a courtesy blink either. Keep that DAMN skateboard in the right lane!

I always wanted either an M5 or a 7 series. Yes, I have champagne taste on a beer budget.


I only rode in a Prius 2x, once when my bosses wife drove me to the hospital for an eye burn and the other when my BIL gave me a ride to the dealership to get my car.

Both times sucked.

Couldn't talk smack to the bosses wife, but I talked so much crap to my BIL, he never offered to take me anywhere ever again.

I hate Prius' and their owners more than any other.

When they are in front of me at a traffic light, I make sure they can see my cooling fan through my grill. Just put that brush guard right up to their rear window and watch them inch forward as much as they can. Lol.

My BIL refers to Prius owners as "PIOUS" owners. They want the world to think they're all that and a bag o chips simply because they have purchased an overpriced car that will need $5000 worth of batteries five years down the road, negating any of the cost saving effects of lower gasoline usage. Add to that there is a huge cost to getting rid of the batteries in an environmentally friendly manner (although we could, concievably, drop them on the Mexican side of the border). Can't stand Prius'.....could you tell?

I really haven't given the Prius's much thought lately (not worth the effort) until last week when we were helping our son find a Camry. On the dealer's showroom floor I was looking for a Camry, but couldn't find one. But they did have a bunch of hideous looking cars all over the showroom.

Finally I was behind on of the hideous excuses for an automobile and saw "Prius" on the back. "No Wonder!"

And it's not just me.

the fourth-generation Prius has an aesthetic that could make children cry. The face combines fang-shaped headlights with awkward concavities and sudden edges. Not to be outdone, the rear is a hodgepodge of head-scratchers. Those taillights alone might qualify a car for this list.

I hate the turn signal thing, but what irks me more is when someone is turning, and the think they're in a semi truck and have to swerve toward the next lane over in order to make the turn. As if regular passenger cars and trucks are incapable of handling the normal turn radius of DOT-standard roadway design. You're not driving a friggin' tractor-trailer rig so stop pretending to. And when you swerve toward me in the next lane, you just about scare the crap out of me, so don't whine when I hit the horn.

Well I hate to break it to you bud, but BEEMER don't do them anymore.
The 5 and 7 series have packages but the M family (ground up) are in 2,3,4,6 and X's. Had a 03' M3 been in a 16 M4. An M3 is a rocket and an absolute blast to drive, (you can get into trouble real easy with it) The M4 is a FREEKIN heat seeking missile!!! (turning the key and you're in trouble) it fly's and it don't need wings. All BEEMERS are revlocked at 155, that being said in a M4 or 6 you can get there before you can get un puckered from the seat.
I got to touch one of these once, ever since its been my dream car.
Twin turbo V8 Dinan performance package NO options. 600hp / 0-60 3.6sec / 0- Rev limit in under 10sec. yes 155 in under 10 HOLY SH**T!!! Comes with road Velcro too. 6 Series Alpina B6 TT

No they wouldn't let me sit in it. Guess they were afraid I might soil the seat or something... Sticker said $134,950.00 or a winning loto ticket...

This year I think. It became an option package on the sedan. Engine performance upgrade and badges, no suspension changes...

That and the arse holes that will drive 54.5 on a two lane highway marked SPEED LIMIT 55, and then cruise up to 65 in the passing lanes.

Mortar tube mounted on the brushguard... Saddle up behind'em in the passing lane and put one through the back window!

I don't get the hate on the Prius. Whatever happened to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness if happiness is a Prius? If your happiness is an F350 rolling coal then roll on 'Murica! My happiness is driving my Insight and saving a ton of money on gas and insurance.

I have a Pilot and an Insight which is a close cousin (a much better looking cousin) of the Prius. I used to have a 325i that got 24 mpg and was paid for. I sold it, leased the Insight for $200/month. I lived in Miami and drove 50 miles to work 5 days a week. Gas was &4/gal. The Insight got 45-47mpg. So I was saving $8-9 a day in gas which was real close to the car payment. So essentially the car paid for itself in fuel savings. End of the lease I walked in and paid it off in cash. Best decision ever. 10 gallon fuel tank gets filled up once every 2-3 weeks. Then when you add the gas card coupon Publix runs every month that saves $10 off a $50 gas card our monthly gas bill for both cars is between $80-$100 a month. That may be a weeks worth of fuel for some of the trucks out there. Love my Insight, and more power to being able to have the freedom to pick whatever car/truck/motorcycle you want! That is MAGA!
