    Wow just wow, what is wrong with people these days!! Do people really hate on us because we have the best car in the world? Everytime I drive by a corvette I know i'm the better person because i'm driving a car that gets 46 mpg on the highway and the vette only gets 32mpg on the highway. I'm doing my part to save the earth and they just don't care. Why can't everyone be like us, ahead of the curve and progressive? I say we go to that site and tell the people there what we really think of their gas guzzler vehicles!

    [Moderator's Note:
    The above link is true, real, and does harbor an online forum just like PriusChat except for the sole purpose of bashing on the Prius. However, I'm torn on whether or not to tell you to to click on it or not. On one hand, it does present a zoo-like observance of a microcosm of people brewing with hate and does make for some funny reading. On the other hand, visiting the site drives up their click-count and bolsters their numbers. And wouldn't be great for them if their anti-Prius forum was receiving tons of hits from actual Prius owners? Your call.]

    ihatetheprius.com is registered to some assclown named Christopher
    Auman, via godaddy [no surprise], also calls himself "stereogod".
    From pennsyltucky somewhere. So who is he, and should we
    particularly care one way or the other?

    First, don't take things too seriously. Second, don't think about yourself as holier than thou saviour of Earth. You are still burning gas and producing plenty of CO2. And I bet you fly to Hawaii or Mexico on gas burning airplanes, heat your [huge compared to the rest of the world] home with burning natural gas and use electricity generated from coal. So cool down, dude :D

    LOL... a site dedicated to hating a car... I thought I had seen it all

    Hey Einstein, you may want to try having at least 3 or 4 normal looking posts before coming here to post a link to your ingenious website.

    Britney Spears called. She wants her brain back.

    It does according to the brainchild behind the anti-prius website. I wouldn't doubt him, he seems like quite an enlightened fellow.
