The Prius Sucks Posted by B Millar [Email] (#1109) [Profile/Gallery] (more from B Millar) on Fri, 11 Jan 2008 18:02:57 In Reply to: Re: Friends of Earth Europe stupidity, Erik919kt, Fri, 11 Jan 2008 07:59:19 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
And I don't know what the hell these Friends of the Earth Europe people are smoking.
All I know is the Prius is just one of those things where it's trendy to "be green." Yeah they get stellar gas mileage but holy crap! Who wants to drive that?! My boss got one and let me drive it a few miles up the road. The steering wheel is about 2/3's the diameter of my 9-5's, and it's about a half inch thick. The steering is soo NUMB. Probably because it's electrically driven, but when you turn it, I found that I had to turn it back to go straight, there's no return in it. The wheels are like bicycle tires; she was complaining she couldn't get up her driveway with 3 inches of snow and her driveway probably goes up 5 feet over 100 feet horizontally. On top of this, do you know what it takes to MAKE those batteries!? And THEN!! What happens when they stop taking a charge? They're no different than those laptop or cell phone batteries we have that only take so many charges. What are we gonna do? Throw all those in Yucca mountain too? Enough Prius rant for now...
As for those Friends of Earth Europe people, get your heads out of your a$$es and find something better to do than crap all over Saab's advertising campaigns. Go plant a tree!
