to drive over a prius???

Had 3 little sedans try to stuff themselves under my back bumper this year. I think I'm gonna make up some stickers for my front fender - 2 more and I'm an Ace! So far they've managed to scuff my bumper.

3 prius' have rear ended you? i know those idiots can't drive, but.... at least you're taking a few of them off the road!

When I was in school, I was at a stop light and got ass ended by a TR7. He wedged the front of his car so far under the back of my Bronco that my Receiver and hitch dug a nice trench into his hood. The back of the Bronco was almost off the ground. I had to lock in the hubs to drive off of him. My only damage was bent tail pipes. His car was totaled and he got the ticket.

I like the Prius. They are making up for my fuel consumption.
You could weld some little sedan wreckers on your bumper.

Haha nice. That's one of my biggest "fears" about driving my Bronco in the US. I'm thinking I'll need to get some stickers to put on my bumper as well.

Hey! Don't knock it until you've tried it! My wife drives a Prius. It's a great car and it's gas mileage keeps our average fuel consuption at a reasonable level because my two gas guzzlers surely drag us down.

However, I wouldn't be caught dead in all the other compacts out there.

45mpg? Yeah, you read that right. That's what our 06 Prius REALLY gets. Then there's the "OTHER" 3 vehicles we own, the 54 Chevy HotRod (15mpg), the 01 CTD (17mpg) and the EB (8mpg). So, I guess we average 21mpg overall?

My neighbor's got one - been in it a few times - I don't mind them - but it's got a shape that says run over me. Apparently prius drivers around here like texting/talking on the phone while runnin under me (ok, one was a corrolla).
