You annoying little electric ****!!!
Discussion
Driving into work this morning and I came across the most annoying little tit I've seen for a while.
I came over Vauxhall Bridge and turned left to head towards work just managing to squeeze past a congestion causing bendy bus when I pulled up behind the most annoying car in the world - a smug little Toyota Prius.
Presumabley the driver was on his way to his Civic Partnership Ceremony or similar....anyway I quickly overtook him as he was dribbling along like a baby - only to be met by him flashing his lights like mad at me! Why do that? I overtook safely (nothing coming the other way) and was irrelevant to him.
Further up the road he pulled up behind me at some lights (presumably mumbling through his beard 'see, didn't get you anywhere') and he sat there quietly. Then a mile later I pulled over to get some breakfast and as he drove past he was giving me the W**ker sign and shreiking like a loon!
So Mr SmugElectricBottomLovingTreeHugging2MileAnHourGit - next time I see you I'll unplug you and rub your nose in your own piousness.

Hit nail on the head there absoulutly fabulous At the risk of getting lynched by the PH massive, I can't help but sort of agree with why the Prius exists.
What I can't understand though is why Toyota doesn't make it more desirable? I mean, why style it like a deformed trilobite? If it came in the form of the Celica, for example, then surely more people would buy into the idea? I'm sure Toyota could find a way to shoe-horn the electric bits from under the Prius' bonnet alongside the Celica's current powerplant? Electric power for city/town driving, mucho horsepower for motorway/A road driving. sorted!

I agree totally.
Its not the car thats the problem though, its the driver.
The idea of the car is right especially in polluted town centres, however the arrogant supercilious attitudes shown by the pricks that buy them should automatically lead to them being banned from ever from driving and have to suffer the "joys" of piss-stinking filthy overcrowded overpriced public transport.
I think they're a good idea for city use, however, I am sure a large percentage buy these things as a 'gesture' to look like they're 'concerned', bit like the actors who have one as a token gesture, but prefer to drive their fleet of V8 monters also parked in the garage. I do believe that the kind of person, on the whole, who buys these electric cars are the same people who give to charity because they can afford to, and force their morals on others, (as they take off to do 'charity work' complete with cameras and TV deal on their private jet. Still, they have a Prious, so they must be saving the planet!

They ought to have real Scalextric Priuses (Prius? Prii? Priae). Then we can have the control and pull the trigger and spin them off on the corners.
Nice idea, but the Prius just ain't cool enough to make it to scalextric status. My 2 year old nephew wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Now, a scalextric tractor or digger? For him, THAT's cool!

Yup, they'll get the Prius, save some money and feel smug in their own deluded way that they are doing something for the environment and planet, then go on holiday to some far flung location using air travel, TOTALLY offsetting the overall environmental impact saving their Prius ever had or will have in one single trip!
Tis about time these morons started looking to change what matters, but they won't do that, because that would effect their way of life that they enjoy. It's easy for greenies and government to blame cars, as it doesn't really effect everyones way of life, since they will just tax us for it.
However, tax electricity like they did petrol, or gas, and the greenies would soon be whinging that they can never have a warm bath. Everyone else is doing wrong except them
Just hypocrites!

One of my mates dads stuck a couple of toy tractor bodies on scalectrix chassis, they looked cool but were heavy so would never make it round the corners
