    Concur.

    As much as I may loathe bad actors (the fast and the slow ones) I've never been compelled to do anything more aggressive than use windshield washer fluid, except for one time where I waited until about 35 milliseconds before striking a cinder block on the road before banking sharply to the left.... :)

    What you can't seem to get your head around is that for some people, moving much slower than the normal flow of traffic is also "bad behavior."

    If 50-percent of your anecdotes are even close to accurate, you have no business on a public limited-access road.

    I would never condone anybody throwing anything at your car....even a half a Peace Sign, but it will be refreshing for me personally when you give up on your Prius Hate Project, and go back to haunting the Insight community.

    Maybe if Honda comes out with a successful follow-on to their failed Insight-2..... ;)

    Maybe it was not a wet rag, but a piece of his truck fell off?

    It may not be the car, but the driver that is the problem.

    I study people and why they behave the way they do. Recently, I've expanded it to the internet. It's been interesting. The author of this thread has a great deal of frustration, obviously stemming from his parents, so now he craves attention no matter how inappropriate or hostile he expresses it. His mention of a wet rag is an illusion of wet dreams and lack of good sex.

    I hope he can find help.

    ^^^ That IS a joke, right?
    Please tell me is was a joke or I'll have to start looking for that explosive-filled egg under the accelerator, too.

    If you had bother to READ my post, you would have seen I was driving just as fast as the guy in front of me. The interstate, per usual, was bumper to bumper cars. (The guy behind me was probably just angry from a morning spat with his wife, or something similar, so when I merged in front of him, he took it as a personal affront against his manhood. Then he threw a rag at me.)

    And I OWN a prius, so I don't see why you keep insisting I "hate" the car when I went out and bought one. I do not hate the Prius at all. I just think it's too expensive (which is why I bought a used model instead).

    And finally, I've noticed you guys don't just hate me. You express hatred towards anyone who is negative towards your car. Like the guy who said, "The Prius doesn't do well in winter snow, so I'm getting a Subaru instead." The amount of insults directed at the poor fellow remind me of a guy defending his girlfriend. "You're an idiot Subaru guy! How dare you insult my gal!!!" pretty-well sums up 1/4 of the posts.

    Indeed you harbor quite a bit of it. You target a possession as dear to this community as a child or pet, then cry victim with the so predictable outrage.

    So why your hatred?

    If it's wrong to read these posts in a heavy German accent...

    I don't wanna be right!

    How do you think that lady will feel when she sees her picture used like this?
    Fooling gullible old farts like me, you should be ashamed!
