JUST

Prius drivers shouldn't be allowed on the twisties. There was really no good spot to cross the median to overtake so it made it that much more frustrating.

What about you /o/? Got any prius stories or similar?

I drove a big diesel pickup in high school and the Prius driving soccer moms got all shitty because they thought my truck took up too much space when I parked. Granted, that parking lot looked like it was designed for fucking clown cars or someshit, but I parked on the street most days anyways. Prius cunts were still assmad for some reason. They'd park their little fagmobiles inches from my bumpers if I parked on the street, or inches from my doors if I parked in the lot. But, eventually I staked my claim to a different parking spot where even if they tried to block me in, I could sort of pull straight out and just drive over the sidewalk to get out. First time I parked there was fucking hilarious.

>the Prius cunts thought they had me
>I had Priuses on either side and one behind
>They thought I'd never be able to get out
>I could never make the turn in my bigass truck
>Their faces were full of smug as they sipped their diet cokes and watched me while their little rapscallions were eating dirt or someshit

>Really wanted to play a good fuck you song for em

>Windows down, I started idling out the spot
>Look in the mirror, one of the cunts does one of those pfff looks with the rolling eyes and shit
>Full evil smile on my face at this point

>They know what's up
>Soccer moms expressions turn to complete shock as I gently press the gas
>Front tires up
>Then the backs
>Several hundred pounds of seething, blubbery, Prius driving rage in my rearview
>Drop down onto the street

Sooner or later someone is going to get shot for rolling coal on the wrong driver and I'll defend that shooter to anyone who'll listen

people who buy a prius don't take driving seriously

they care more about feeling like they are saving the world than anything else
>>
>>16046051
I might have bought a prius owing to my super long commute (110 miles/day) but the brakingredients action on all three generations and models I have tried are scary
>>
I always drop it into the lowest gear I can possibly be in at the given time and people always pull over. They know what's up.

A very high percentage of prius drivers suffer from a very widespread mental illness. It's best to just pass them as loudly as possible whenever possible to keep yourself safe.

>>16046013
Aggressive. Why you got to hate on diesels man?
>>
>>16046087
Nobody hates diesels.
People hate coal rolling faggots for being faggots.
>>
>>16046087
Theres nothing wrong with deisels, there's definitely something wrong with coal rollers, especially if they pull that shit in populated areas
>>
>>16046074
Nope, southwest Missouri.
>>
>>16046087

For clarification, the standard amount of black smoke from an old diesel is not what I am talking about. It's the 100% opaque plumes that get me going.
>>
>>16045303
I don't really have any specific stories. Just to sum it up, there always seems to be a Prius on the road here that's just in the damn way all the time. It's not like they're trying to specifically inconvenience me for driving a near 3 ton (literally) Mercedes that does 18mpg. They're just there, piddling about in the passing lane doing fucking 10-15 under the damn limit while other cars crawl past him/her in the cruising lane.

>>16046114
Yeah I'd agree with you that the guys that turn the fuel way the fuck up just to roll coal are dipshits. My truck blows a little smoke because it's a simple old diesel and I wanted power, but didn't have shitloads of money. It only does it when I really lay on the gas though, and it doesn't make the fuckhuge clouds like you see from coal rollers. More than stock for sure, but not super excessive. I normally try to keep it civilized in town, but in that situation, I felt I was provoked.
>>
If you think this is bad, just wait for a cheap popular tesla dank iphone geek car.
>>
>>16045336
I disagree.

I'm a traffic cop and i fine people for going excessively below the limit. It's often people in shitboxes who think they have a moral duty to stop the sportscar behind them.

Now mind you if that sports car does speed, i'll get him too, but innocent until proven guilty.

Some of them just want to drive at the speed limit and these cunts cause accidents by driving 30 below the limit.

I actually had a guy aggressively doing it to me the other day, i got him for a ton of defects because he was a fucking cunt.

Just do the limit or like 10 below, if you have to. In warm sunny conditions you do not need to be fucking crawling along.

This is what I don't understand. If they're going that slow, why don't they have the courtesy to let those that are going the speed limit pass them.

Because smug

We're not all like that, so please stop projecting.

My company provides us cars and they give us a Prius because of the fuel savings. I drive the shit out of that car I don't give a fuck. I just keep it in "Power" mode all the time and floor it when I need to accelerate. It constantly needs suspension work because apparently they aren't meant to be driven 70mph on gravel/dirt roads.

I bought a Prius years ago and it's no fun having people right on your ass.

This is why speed limits need to be abolished. Instead of telling people "this is the speed you must go and anyone that goes any other speed is a complete asshole (oh, and you should inconvenience yourself to be nice to assholes going other speeds)", what we should have is "go whatever speed you can drive at safely, but be respectful and courteous to everybody else on the road "
>>
>>16045303

W-what about Volt drivers?

Are we shitty people too? D:
>>
>>16047835
I've never come across a volt driving shittily. It's always the Prius.
>>
>>16047822
>"go whatever speed you can drive at safely, but be respectful and courteous to everybody else on the road"

That sounds like a terrible idea. That's ALL subjectivity. What one person thinks is safe, another person thinks is dangerous. I don't think most reckless drivers that have caused accidents engaged in their behavior with the thought, "This is dangerous and outside my skill level." No, in their mind, they were perfectly within their skill level, despite running stop signs, and driving 20 MPH over the limit.
>>
>>16047822
That all sounds well and good until some fuckwit in a fast car comes lying around a bend and smashes into someone who is going at a reasonable speed. which i guess happens anyway, but it'd happen a lot more if theres no consequences for it other than crashing
>>
>>16047858
Yes, but those people were doing that despite (or maybe because of) the law. In all of those cases, having a speed limit did exactly nothing to deter those drivers.

>>16047899
Most people drive at wherever speed they're going to drive at regardless of the posted limit. Speed limits just give people moral justification to be disrespectful to other drivers.

Remember, speed doesn't cause accidents, and the police will be the first to admit that. Notice that the classic police report phrasing is "speed was a factor." Not a cause. Accidents are caused by bad judgement, which is caused by fatigue, which is caused by frustration. You can have poor judgement at any speed, which is why old people are both the slowest drivers and the most likely to get into accidents.

You're worse. Just as smug as Prius drivers but get worse mileage.
