... I would like to start by saying thanks for nearly sideswiping me to the filler at the Shell down in Lakewood and not apologizing. Yeah, real classy, not! And it doesn't really help when you hold up so many people just to brag about an electric Versa. No, your thing doesn't get more MPG than my 919, it's not cool and it's not some damn king of the road. Go park somewhere else and fuck off.

Sincerely, a Honda rider.

Anyone I've met who drives anything Hybrid or electric seems to be a Cunt.

Just personal experience on my end.

Bridgeport? I see real asshats there all the time.

Drift Missile? Or S13 Front clip/SR20DET swap?

The Mentality of every Hybrid / Electric car owner:

"Yes I realize I'm doing 50 in a 65 and holding up traffic, but you see, this is a Prius, so I am doing the world a favor, and thus, am granted exclusive rights to the left lane."

And my favorite:

"That big V8 muscle car is a gas guzzler, even though you drive it lightly through town so as not to drain your efficiency. I on the other hand, drive an amazing planet saving device called a Prius, therefore, I can floor my accelerator pedal at every stop to attain maximum efficiency while leaving you in the dust and saving the environment."

Totally agree. Tell them that the new Corvette has a huge V8 but does 30mpg and their head might explode.

No they just react arrogantly. " Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it with my own two eyes; which will never happen because I'd never buy a gas guzzling car like that!"

I actually had a guy do this (ironically) when I had first bought my Mustang. It was a bone stock S197 and I pulled into the gas station. Guy filling up a Porsche Cayenne Turbo looks over and says "Hows that guzzler doing for your pocket?" I responded "I'm averaging 18mpg, can't be any worse than yours". Befuddled, he responded "No way that thing gets 18. Well, mine can go 170 mph." To which I responded "prove it" and then drove off while he pouted.

Self-righteous Hybrid drivers. I hate Illinois Hybrid drivers. (spoken in a Joliet Jake way).

dunno, my 919 does like 45mpg the one time I measured it? (no idea what a prius gets, that is like twice what any of my other cars get...)

My dad owned a Prius for about a year. Then he sold it and bought a Blue V8 S4 Avant. Does that excuse his sin?

Hilariously, it's nearby Bridgeport and Pacific.

He's a Jalop - he's forgiven.

Kind of depends on the riding style. I only average 47 MPG, and mind you - I wouldn't really call my riding style "conservative." /cringe

I do wonder about Model S drivers - they seem to be nice, so far.

I have yet to speak to one.

They seem like decent people...but I'd have to have a sit down with one and discuss whether they are indeed a cunt, or just a decent person.

My wife drives a Volt and loves it. I don't mind driving it. It's a nice car.

A buddy of mine drives a Tesla Model S. His other car is a V10 M5.

As long as you aren't an ass.

Like I said, I have never personally met one who is a kind person.

I made two stickers for my car (not yet installed) along the lines of "Your hybrid took more resources to make and operate than a semi truck" and "My Volvo cost less than your hybrid battery" but more cleverly stated.

The new one by Denny's? That's the one I mean. I fill up there about 50% of the time.

That is why i plan on owning prius repellant someday.

Yep! Some guy spooked me about full service, though. D:

Yeah they like to do that there. I always say no. There's one guy there that acts like my best friend, loves my car, always telling me about his own car. He doesn't know much about cars, but I can tell he really wants to. Anyway, he always recognizes my car when I pull up and stands and talks to me the whole time... But they have the cheapest convenient Shell gas on my way home. It's a nice stopping point between Lacey and Puyallup.

I ride like a granny most of the time =)

(flipped my car 2 years ago, still not back to 100% comfortable on 2 wheels...)
