I own a 2012 Toyota Prius

I have no complaints. I actually average more than 50 MPG a lot.

Hey, it takes more energy and carbon to MAKE that damn thing than it ever will to drive a normal car made in a normal factory.

You wanna help the environment and save money? Get the Golf Blu Motion Diesel. 70 MPG if you drive conservatively, 50 if you're not on an economy run. Some say you can get 100 if you try.

Oh, and hydrogen is the way of the future. If you live in Cali, get the Hydrogen powered Civic.

Also apparently it causes its owners to start their sentences with "Brb" which is completely -blam!-ing stupid.

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

Apparently it is all the Smug that it produces...

It's the leading cause of smug

I have a bunch of smug in my area, a lot of people can't stand it so they move away.

Idk why people hate it. I would gladly drive one.

Right now I drive a ford expedition. Costs me a ton in gas.

I'd love to own a hybrid. It would save me a lot of money.

Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are the imagination of our selves.

Meh, if I wanted a gas efficient vehicle Id rather get a diesel.

I wish they weren't so ugly.

Please do not send me group invites.

They're worse for the environment than regular cars. Not because of gas mileage and such, but because of the batteries and disposal.

  • 12.04.2012 9:39 AM PDT

There's no way to get back experiences you missed.
So start right now today and risk furiousness for bliss.

It looks a little silly, but the idea behind it is a good one.

BTW, what is Brb?

There is this. I couldn't find much more about it though. So it may not be as good as everyone thinks.

Typical argument that was never even provoked.

And also false.
