Who Would be More Likely to Drive the Enterprise Like a Prius?

My only complaint about the most recent Star Trek with Archer...

They don't show the dog enough. (Really cute beagle.)

 

I really have to go with the unlisted Scotty.

I have to second the vote for Scotty. Who would possibly care more than Scotty about conserving the precious dilithium crystals?

 

Definitely Zlaty Bartfast.

Ah...but see how Kirk is the instigator? Kirk=leadfoot. Scotty=hypermiler

 

"I canna change the laws of physics, but I can find ya a loophole" --
e.g. letting the dilithium pack go down to 20% SOC, then have to
dock somewhere for a recharge using a neutronium-based inverter
shoved down into some convenient planet's core magma for heat..
.

It's funny because it's true!

 

Kirk - Had to worry about dilithium crystals, but lets face it - he did warp 10+ around the sun... a Prius driver wouldn't go that fast
Picard - No worry about the dilithium crystals, and he did tend to speed around quite a bit.
Sisco - He is definitely in the running. After all, he liked to take his Defiant out at "warp stealth" ie cloaked
Janeway - She could have driven a Prius. After all, she wanted to get where she was going quickly (like many people) but was well aware that going slower would, in the end, be better - less stress, less time spent doing repairs, etc. Her average speed most of the time was only warp 6-7.
Archer - By far the best option. He had the same problem Kirk had with the dilithium crystals, and only reached top speed (warp 5) once, unlike the other captains who hit top speed at least once a season.

 

I think a more interesting question is: What would they drive?

Kirk: Hummer all the way!
Picard: Prius
Sisco: Doesn't strike me as a Prius guy; maybe a Corolla.
Janeway: A used Buick, but only because that was all she could afford.
The guy on "Star Trek: Enterprise": Yeah, like anyone ever watched that

 

unlike many fans, i am primarily a fan of the original since no other show of any kind broke as many rules or hurdled as many barriers.

the 2nd generation i watched and actually learned to like, but the rest, simply did not do it for me.

so i choose picard simply because he was treading more familiar territory and therefore was not taking "the road least traveled". kirk always rode in like the posse from the old west and therefore did not understand the concept of "stealth" mode.

to be honest with ya, the rest are completely "alien" to me. never heard of em

 

I don't know but I did drive the Prius from Enterprise (rental car that is )
