Why the Prius Hate?

So, what do you call a one way street? A half lane road?

 

a one way street. two lanes, one each way, a two lane road. two lanes each way, we don't have a name. same with 3 lanes.

 

i can't find any official names online

I get that a lot. Sometimes it's tailgating, and sometimes it very aggressive use of the horn for no reason, but I know I'll have the last laugh at the gas pump.

 

never heard of a two lane expressway or freeway, i'm not sure there's anything official about those definitions

 

i always keep up with the flow and 95% of the time i don't get any hate. When i do get the pre disposed 5% behind, i switch to EV sport mode in my Prime and every time they stop inches from my rear bumper on stop lights i jack rabbit from the stop out of range and put cars between us. Usually after the 3rd stop they realize they can't keep up and give up.

interestingly, the worse hate i got was someone i picked up from the airport during snow. As soon as she sat in my Prius she started with "interesting choice of vehicle on a snow storm" followed by you should be driving a pickup truck etc and kept low level insulting the rest of the trip. I just kept civil and polite because all that evil was a reflection of her not on me.

 

And this is when you picked her up from the airport while it was snowing! How ungrateful.

 

lol yeah, it was just one of those weird thing that felt like it came from one of those dark night Twilight Zone episodes (if you're old enough to have watched those) that up to this day still leaves me scratching my head hahaha.

 

Or your route choice. Folks get on Google maps and start explaining how i could get there 5 minutes faster by such and such. I tell them how I’m going (my usual, reliable and familiar route), shut it down. I’m not an effing cab, the price is right, lol.

 

And, unless you had weight in the bed, the pickup truck would be much worse in snow.
