I got that beat. I drove around Fairfield and Bay area yesterday in costume but from the shoulders up it looked like I was wearing a black shirt and a do-rag while bumpin' E-40/Akon in the Prius. I got some very curious stares indeed. lol

Ans yes, I know some people need trucks for work. I work with those people every day in the field and there are many times when I wish I still had mine. Hauling barbed-wire and 8' t-posts in the Prius can get things dirty real quick.

i was responding to the suggestion that conservative wannabes bitch about buying "jap crap" then turn around and shop at Walmart buying cheap Chinese imports, but that rarely do you see "lefties doing the same thing."

i think we're in agreement that no one has the market cornered in a-holes

i feel we can have this discussion and leave our baggage or perceptions about political and philosophical affiliations out of it

i have plenty of leftist UAW's who bitch at me about my choice to buy a Japanese car, and they usually bitch at me when we're out riding out Japanese motorcycles

when i call 'em on it, they say if the USA made a worthy sport bike, they'd buy it ...

yeah, well when a US company makes the right car for my needs on the day i need it, then i'll buy it ... same thing right?

in the meantime, i bought a Prius, from a dealer in California, i know the guy, he's American, and he's rich ... all the salesmen and women and technicians on the lot live here in America too ... i don't see the problem

i don't have a problem with you either, i hope you didn't think that's what i was saying at all

again, i don't think someones political affiliation, income, skin-color, or any of those factors is relevant to whether or not they're a Prius hatin' A-hole ... haters are haters, they come in all stripes, and they suck ...

let's not be like them

I can agree with ya there mate.

when it comes to haters being those who compare their cars to ours, i notice the following: its infrequent that we on PC will consistently use a specific other car as a point of reference for a prius stat. I can't say the same for another hybrid forum...

Perhaps they were trolls
