Prius commercial

Just saw a new Prius commercial. Things floated quickly across the screen. One of them said, "something-something ... spent less on gas ... than coffee."

Fine. Now get out of the damn driving lane.

Prius owners have saved enough on gas to pay for maintenance of (?) "...Yosemite for 103 years."

Yeah, right--like that's what the money's going to be used for. But fine. Just move over and get the hell out of the fast lane!

Overall impression: Wonderful wonderful Prius, yeah-yeah-yeah....

Godammit, Prius, quit looking at your stupid efficiency gauge and pay attention to traffic!" MOVE OVER!

Just my 2 cents. Buy one if you want it, but drive or GTFO....

Yeah they do not do too well during the winter up here in Montuckey! Priuses stuck all over the place. I love my four wheel drive Ford F150 and that is all I gotta say about that Jack!

Yeah. But I understand they get great gas mileage....

Great for Californians but gas mileage doesn't mean a thing on rough roads and/or a foot of snow! Who doesn't love good gas mileage? We all do but depending on where and how we live...one mold will not work!

But I understand what you are saying about some people being too pooky! Yet I would rather deal with them with someone flying up on you way too fast. Weaving and going crazy through traffic.

i think they proved it on a car show in the uk that some small derv [diesiel cars are more efficient than those cars cost per mile ??

I would never drive one of those. Or a smart car. Slow is one thing. Another is. Well I do a lot of traveling for my work and I see a lot of wrecks. Whenever one of those small, plastic cars are in a wreck they have white sheets covering the windows every time. They're death traps.

Oh. Sorry. I added a little "end sarcasm" note to my post....

Here you go Ex. Maybe this toy could reduce some stress once you get home!

Interesting. Not really surprised, though. Toyota is selling "image."

Diesel cost way more, but burns slow as hell though. I wouldn't doubt they're more efficient. Then the electric variants..save on gas, but how much is your electric bill?

Maybe they were driving too slow and got run over like a tortoise....
