Was approached at the gas station today by GM Suburban driver...

I would hate to be the owner of one of those right now, i could only imagine how much it is to fill their tank. Prius power .

My wifes Doc had a new BMW X5 and offered to trade cars. He still has his X5 and I still have my 04 Prius.

 

I've been approached quite a few times. I used to drive a huge dodge ram pick up...and it was hard giving up the big car...but once I did, it was like a huge wieght was lifted off my shoulders.

I've gotten pretty good at giving the impromptu sales pitch...LOL...Toyota should be sending me checks in the mail really.

 

Just point everyone to autotrader.com or cars.com.

1800 priuses out there on autotrader.com (over $5000 asking price)

 

My second "car" is a camper van. We took it to the cottage a couple weeks ago. It didn't need to be filled up, but I thought I'd "top off" - It took $100 and still wasn't full!!! I burned half a tank that weekend. I could have gone back and forth a dozen times with the Prius.

True Story... Just this Wednesday I was filling up my prius at the Kroger fuel centre in Bowling Green, Ohio. Gas had dropped from about $4.20/gal to $3.99/gal in just a few days and the gas station had cars lined up at all 12 pumps... so I am fueling up with my usual 7-8 gallons of petrol and minding my own business when a woman who drives a Chevy TrailBlazer is pumping gas on th e other side of my pump... She pokes her head around the pump and yells at me "F**K YOU AND YOUR SMART A$$ CAR!!!"

Needless to say I was shocked and had at least a half dozen people standing around various pumps string at me as if I did something to prompt this... Without thinking I turned right back at her and said "Shutup you fat ugly wh**e !" I then put the pump nozzle back, closed my gas cap and backed out of the fuel centre in silence on battery power while she just glared at me... I am still dumbfounded by this one...

 

Wow!

Luckily it was a woman huh? If a man pulled that crap the other customers would have had ring-side viewing of the ensuing altercation. Hahaha

 

I passed by the anti-prius at a pump yesterday. A Ferrari 360. Gave the guy a thumbs up. I couldn't help but notice I was able to get a 32 oz cola, and pay for it during the time he spent fueling it.

But, hey, it was a very nice looking Ferrari.

 

no offence but i doubt a ferrari owner cares about gas prices.

 

You cracked me up! I'm kind of glad you didn't just sit there and take it.

 

no, only their tiny little d****.

 

That's what people who have never driven one always seem to say

I've never driven one myself, but I have drive some pretty nice luxury cars - $100k Mercedes (I forget the model), a 911 Porsche and they are nice and fun to drive. The Mercedes is far more fun than the Porsche as its just a complete luxury vehicle.

I'd love to drive a Ferrari. I could never see spending that kind of money on a car though.

 

exactly, ive driven a 2002 modena(not mine) and u cant relate the feeling to anything else, the handling is so precise and no matter how fast u are going the pedal still has room to go down even further.

 

I've driven a few sports cars, including a couple of Porsches. It's fun to just sit back in a Prius, and let the car drive itself--no shifting, no noise. Silky smooth and quiet.
A different experience. Like driving a spaceship.

 

wow. most folks are positive about my car. They ask me if I really get good mileage and I sow them the mfd usually around 53mpg. I then show them I filled with 7 or 8 gallons total and got over 400 miles on the tank.

I find a lot of appreciative glances these days. Chicks dig it too!

 

I was filling up today and watched a guy filling up a GM truck in front of me. He was laughing and crying at the same time. At the end, he climbed into the bed of the truck and had a passenger pass something to him through the rear sliding window. It was a camera and he was taking a picture of an astronomical fuel bill...

 

Way off subject, but I have a knat trapped in your reply, I was wondering if I could electronicall transport him back to you............................................................LET ME KNOW

 

That's a neat bug!
