I don’t mean as drivers, but as people. I read an article in the newspaper today about this issue. Apparently Prius drivers as a group are quite happy with their cars, but seem to be persecuted by the remainder of the automotive public. Not all of the other drivers, but there are more people tail…

A pretty fair number of the Prius drivers around here are of the foot buried in the floor type and (for those old enough…) seem to think of themselves as members of the Joie Chitwood Thrill Show… :slight_smile:

Okay, speaking of bad drivers; this is the third day the same thing is happening. My commute in the morning hits heavy stop and go traffic on the fwy. So there is this brand new Toyota Corolla with no license plates that for 3 days in a row, just pulls in front of me when merging from another freewa…

Those links provided my chuckles for the evening.

While …

I’m thinking we may need a bad drivers, cyclists, pedestrians thread. I will start one unless I have already. I have dozens of stories and new ones nearly every day.

@db4690 “I’ve seen VERY few aggressive/fast Prius drivers.” Come to Los Angeles I wonder how many of those LA Prius owners bought them only so they could use the car pool lanes?

Over 3000 lbs and 130 hp. How aggressive can a car be ? I get that they can in time, reach 85mph. But I don’t see them accelerating to pass or merge too quickly and aggressively. They must be selling a turbo add on in California where they are made with Corolla like performance on cookie cutter ti…

Has the Toyota Prius become the cult car of the present times as the VW Beetle became the cult car of the late 1950s through the 1960s? There are a couple of things in common: distinctive appearance: You could not mistake a VW Beetle for anything else in its time period and today, nothing else …

In reality there is not sense in trying to pass the cars ahead of you with a Prius just for the sake of passing them. You will anyway while they stop for gas.
