I hate Priuses. They're ugly, slow, heavy, AND, tree huggers love them. Hey, news flash people, carbon dioxiode emissions isn't the cause of global warming. Go google it.
So today I'm getting on the highway and there's a Prius in front of me on the on-ramp. I'm behind it and I can see the exhaust comming out of the tailpipe indicating the guy is flooring the car. I'm watching this from behind closing in on the POS with an engine that's larger than twice the size. The real fun was when it was time to merge. I dropped a couple gears and slug right around the guy. Prius 0, MB 1.
The real reason why these cars suck is that yeah, they're great now, but what happens in a couple years when all of those batteries start to go bad. Has anyone considered the amount of extremely toxic chemicals and metals that are used to produce these batteries? No. I'm not saying we should continue to use fossil fuels like we currently do forever, but I'm not so sure hybrid technology is the answer. Did I mention I hate Priuses?
PS - Merry Christmas!
