Reality Check... are some Prius owners acting more like cult members?

Now why didn't I think of this....instead of stopping in my garage, widen the door to the family room, drive right in, facing the bigscreen!! Brilliant!!

Shucks,we're not a cult? I was looking for the new "PriusMods" magazine with the good-looking models on the cover. :lol:

 

Calling Billy a troll is pretty harsh, IMO. He wasn't being combative like a troll, and he said himself he bought a prius. I think there's panties in a bunch over nothing. He's got some good points. I'm a Mac guy, too, and I see the same thing in that camp. Heck, I'm guilty of it. I've been on the Mac since '87, and I can be pretty silly about it. Lighten up on the guy, is what I say.

 

hi prius people. i think you are all just a fun group and we are all a little nuts about prius's. we all have a common ground in talking about our cars and have a lot of fun doing it. and i may say that a lot of good frienships are created over our so called cult group. and if thats so wrong in this mixed up world of ours then some of the people that critisize our little group should take a real good look at who are they to say what we prius chatters can and cant do. we will do just FINE in our little prius world. thank you very much. pete. and i love my prius! :angry:

 

if Prius Chat members are a cult, then what would Chevy and Ford and Mopar fans be called?...a SUPER CULT or a Movement..they are HUGE compared to us !

 

News flash: Prius Cult spotted in the Ocala National Forrest


John makin the improved Hemp cord cup phone.


Some of the 02 Prius crew.



Just kidding :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have noticed though, other prius drivers beep beeping at each other like they used to do in the VWs.
Kinda cool.... (Beep if your Family)

 

He is right. I thought I was buying a cute economy car. Now I am obsessed about driving with one eye on the economy bars on the display. I pulse and glide until I get nauseous. I am afraid of pushing the throttle. I spend an hour every night reading posts about the car on this forum. Man I love this car. What happened to me? Is there a cure?

2007 Touring Addition. However, that cure will only last for about a year.

 

I wonder how many are cross enrolled at www.macrumors.com www.macaddict.com , etc. :lol:

My personal motto is " Never fall in love with a depreciating asset. It will never love you back!"

Most likely because people started in with the "he's a troll! burn him, burn him!" chant... i know if that happened when i was still new i'd be a bit put off...

 

WOW a Flame war on the Prius chat forum. I guess it was only a matter of time.

 

Well some people here are complete a$$holes. Im not naming names because most people know who they are and so do the a$$holes themselves. If you are an a$$hole and don’t know it then you are also an idiot. I am not trying to start a fight just pointing out that these certain people can and have run off new members with their high and mighty know everything hoity toity attitude.

So I guess the rest of us are just as bad for letting it happen.

 

You pulled the offending insults off the site so quickly I never knew that it happened. Thank you for that!
Also, I am sorry for him that this escalated so quickly. I just think he was not use to the snide remarks that are passed back and forth here. Those snide remarks are one of the reasons I love this site. I don't believe anyone ever meant him harm or was offended by his tongue-in-cheek posting. It all seemed light hearted prodding to me. I must say he sure knew how to title a post though.

The whole thing is very sad.

 

I miss all the good posts. :angry: I don't know about a cult but PriusChat has the feel of the early ComUserve Mac board. The place where we had to make our own cable for a modem because Apple did not make one and used Red Rider to get on line with our Macs. If that is a cult then I guess we are a cult. Those were good times and are good times and the Mac is still around. How many remember the Mac Evangelist and the Mac Marines. I digress. Yes I name cars. Got it from my Grandfather. It facilitates cursing or praising them. I keep my baby warm at night but we are way past the electric blanket thing we have block heaters for winter! Also radiator blockers to keep the cold air out in winter. Lots of car enthusiasts give each other the high sign. VW bug drivers did it for years. SAAB drivers flash their lights at each other or did. So that is not new. We are having fun and that is all the counts! Can I borrow a cup of bat blood from some one? I will replace it next time I visit the PriusChat store! B)
