I would request the Moderators no longer ban any Cummins dumbass who joins. It really is too easy to make fun of them, and it's great entertainment. I know if I tried to join those retards, I'd be booted after one post.

So here goes

Americans always whine about their energy problem. The redneck, hillbillie, white trash Dodge Cummins owner listens to every discredited POS that Rush et al claim, eg Prius battery lasts 10,000 miles, costs $7,000 to replace

So, Matt, pay attention. I'm throwing some of your own quotes

"
I have a good follow up for yall. Me and my girl was in Austin Tx this past weekend. As most of yall know that is Texas's hippie and limp wrist city(very liberal). I was on 71 and i needed to get on to I35. Well the exit was coming up pretty quick so I had to get over pretty quick and i was using my blinker to warn people that my 8300lb truck was coming over. Well this arse munch and his wife(late 50's) decided that they did not want to be behind me. so they speed up when they saw my blinker. I did the right thing and took the spot that I was after. (Mind you they had New Mexico plates(just saying they where from out of the state) and she had on a tie die shirt, hippie). So anyways they came around me in the cowboy lane with a very upset attitude. Also they are in a convertible with the top down. So I did what I had to do. I turned the PMT to extreme and the MP8 to 100%. Once we got on I35, I politely pulled in front of them and gave them a good ole TEXAS F@$k YOU with a dark cloud of Smoke(A few Times). Needless to say he gave up trying to to cut me off"

I would pass a law that fined outright $10,000 for blowing black smoke like that. Plus confiscate and crush the truck. If hillbillies want black diesel smoke, move to a third world country and leave us alone

So Matt, say in that cloud of toxic diesel exhaust, that woman had hit a curb, been thrown from the bike, hit her head on the curb, and died. Here in Canada, you'd be dinged Vehicular Homicide and spend the rest of your Texan life in jail.

But you're such a man, you didn't dare stop and have a polite chat with her. You hid in your POS

"
Hell I almost forgot. Just about a hr after that(We went to go eat right after the Hippie in the convertible) and finding the restaurant, which my girl was giving me directions to a place she did not know where it was at. We where driving through Austin (South Lamar, Hippie Section) and there are lot of people that ride bicycles which is find, I have no problem with that. It gives girls great legs. But what i had a problem with it DUMP CHITS. We have side walks for a reason, We have marked bicycle lanes for a reason, and We have Streets for AUTOMOBILES. This dumb girl gets off of the side walk and pulls into the lane that my 8300lb truck was currently occupying. Because she felt safe on her 2 1/2 lb Huffty. Lucky for her my PMT and MP8 was still turned up. Now at this point she was on a city street riding 2 1/2 lbs of 5 Star crash rating beer cans in a DARK CLOUD of SMOKE and she could not see where she was going. Some peoples kids. I am sure glad my parents let me play with guns at a early age."

More BS and outright lies, but that's ok, all approved by Texan right-wing bible thumpin' hypocrites

"Hell i have never noticed that, Those little cars make me sick to my stomach. Its sicken that they really believe that our cars and trucks pollute the world. Our vehicles here in the USA contribute to much less the 1% of the pollution. Most of those people don't realize what the rest of the world dumps in to the air. Why sacrifice your happiness and drive a car that you will die in if you get into a wreck. There is no way in hell that i would put my family in one of those coffins on wheels, just like the smart car that came over from Europe. What a freaking death trap. These are the same people that put a animal on the same or higher level then another human. "

I think he's running out of material

"
A person is doing good, and you sure as hell are not saving the planet by driving a Hy-Breed Joker. What a sales gimmick.

The Jeep Cherokee diesel gets 40 mpg. A honda Civic gets 35 MPG. Which one would you put your family in. That's a shout out to the hippies"




Matt, quick question to the high school dropout Texan oil rig worker: when y'all gonna clean up the mess you made at Sudbury?

Settle down, stop taking or giving the bait and lets discuss the 'news' you found.
Some polution is created when the Prius is built, just and production of any vehicle adds polution.
The pollution you referred to in Canada is not all due to the Prius. And has improved dramatically since it was at its worst, even though more and more Prius have been made.
Luckily it looks as if the next generation Prius will be using Lithium batteries which are far better for the environment. No, they are not perfect, but they are better.
From what you have shared of yourself, I see two main reasons the Prius may be for you.
1. Simple savings, far less expensive to operate.
2. You will be sending less of your money to countries that don't like us and even some that support terrorism.

I do know of a number of people who have picked up an economical car for city errands and such and use their truck when they need to haul something. This works well for some people. However, if you would be trading in a truck that is working well for you, I wouldn't recommend it. The savings in gas simply can't make up the loss you would take on the trade in.

To everyone else, if Matt isn't a troll, you are being unnecessarily argumentative. It may be that it simply isn't easy for someone with his history of truck ownership to adjust to the new reality. If he is a troll, his goal would be to get a reaction out of you, so you are doing exactly what he wants.
You Know. There is a certain class of people that drive a hybrid. Everybody knows exactly what type of person I am referring to. (you may be or not but its the stereotype that a hybrid was awarded) But it always threw me off when I got odd looks or people would say something at the gas station or parking lot(just so I could hear them). When I witness that it made me even more proud that I was not in there group. But your open suggestions is how I imagined this certain class to react to anything, open minded. The behavior that I have witness and YES I have contributed, proudly so at one point or another is just so child like. Its good to see that you can find the bright side with in so many negative members. It is what it is.

Such a little boy,

Sudbury,"sigh", that's north of my border. That means its regulated by Canada. That means Canada allowed that to happen. Canada not taking blame for there own actions and now you want good ole America to come to the rescue and clean your mess up for you. The same people that sit back and crack jokes about America. Are you afraid to get your hands dirty. If so you better get a good pair of gloves to clean up YOUR mess. We have enough of our own to worry about. Maybe you should wright somebody in France. They us a favor or two.
