    An attitude adjustment would probably be a more valuable mod than doing anything to the car. An attitude adjustment for the kid would be a nice touch, too. Then again, I guess this is why we have so many three-ton 'macho machines' on the streets. The poser brush guards and mud tires speak volumes about the degree of insecurity amongst men in our society.

    Barring something constructive, I always thought it would be comical to replace my rear Toyota logo with a Peterbilt badge.

    My brother is gay and owns an old Honda Civic, his boyfriend owns a big Lincoln Continental. I have a colleague, a very feminine little woman that dreams of buying a Hummer (The H1)!

    I now have my Prius since 2 months and none of my colleagues and friends told me I look gay, they said I'm smart !

    I don't know if labeling those with big trucks as insecure is the right thing to do. That seems to be doing the same thing as other people do when calling Prius drivers gay.

    I think it's possible for one to drive a huge truck or Prius just because one likes the vehicle. To infer anything beyond that based on the vehicle one drives is pure speculation.

    Pickups have their place, but what about one so lifted they are almost the height of a Prius roof and they are living in an deep in an urban area? Seem like all hat and no cattle?

    Wouldn't "pimping" your car to meet the shallow expectations of
    somebody else be prostituting yourself for the sake of their
    insecurities?

    OK, OK, you need some off-handed come backs. Try these:

    Chill, it's the wife's car. She beat me up and took the pickup this
    morning.

    Hey, it was free! I got it as a birthday present from my Mom.

    The judge gave the ex the house, the pickup, and the Harley.
    I got this and the dog.I got long term reliability, low operating
    costs, and unquestioning devotion... I won.

    Got an idea for GM - rehire the Hummer marketing department to get everyone to manup and buy the Volt. ;)

    I like light blue (powder blue) - anyone who judges me by what I drive has answered a very important question probably without me having to ask it, thanks !

    Sure, but when referring to the exact people who call the OP "gay" for driving a Prius and not a big, bad diesel 4WD truck like them, I'd say they might be a bit insecure.

    Could be...but then again, it could just be what someone likes. I'm sure there are people out there with a Prius and a Hummer or some sort of Land Rover/Land Cruiser. Without knowing them I can't really comment on any personality flaws they may have.

    Just add an Obama sticker and start expanding your four letter vocabulary.

    Yeah, it could be true for them, but then again, they might just be teasing him and he's taking it way to seriously. If they really think he's gay (if they're friends, I'd assume they sorta know him and that he has a daughter!) because he drives a Prius, I wouldn't say they're insecure...I'd say they're idiots!

    So, what have learned today boys and girls?

    1. If they make fun of you they aren't really your friends.
    2. Pay no mind to what others think of you, have pride (even gay pride if applicable) in yourself.
    3. No amount of lipstick is going to make a pig beautiful. Nothing you do to a prius will stop it from being a... Prius.
    4. Insecurities can be contagious, take steps to not catch them.
    5. The man Pat made love to once was not gay.

    (Sorry Pat, I couldn't resist. But you seem like you could take it like a man!)

    But seriously, the brass balls? Those low-hanging rubber or plastic dog nuts usually hanging from the hitch of pickups and suvs? That has to be the most ridiculous 'accessory' I've ever seen. I still don't get it about those. What is the driver trying to tell us? That he has balls, that he used to but his balls are now hanging on back of the truck, that he'd rather ride a male (most all vessels of any kind have been traditionally referred to as female, so if his has balls...), what? Where do they even buy them? I've spent a lot of time in a lot of auto parts and I've never seen them for sale. I'm curious as to how they label those things for sale. And how do they install them? Do they have to handle them themselves or prefer to have a fat greasy mechanic handle them? Do they have to be cupping them as they tie them to the truck? I've never seen a woman driving a car with those on it, but that's actually the only one I think would make sense -- as in, she was divorced and got even her ex-husbands jewels in the bargain. Sorry if the use of the word 'balls' offended anyone, just wanted to be clear what I was referring to.

    For the gay members out there (no puns intended), what do you think of the driver of a truck with this accessory?

    OMG! :D

    When I "come out" and the therapist asks me "when did you know you were gay....?" I can say proudly "I read it on the Prius message board, and it must be right... I am THREE TIMES as gay too cause I have had three Prius!
    :rolleyes:

    What were you thinking, MAN?!

    Didn't anyone warn you that Prius were ONLY driven by Women with hairy legs and arm pits, gays, and right-wing-liberal-commie-pinko-academic-elitists? Didn't you KNOW that these are the ONLY people you will find on this site?

    We'll have to hurry, but I think we can save you before it's too late and your gonads rise up into your stomach, you start peeing sitting down and you get the urge to order a blush wine with your breakfast quiche. But you'll have to do EXACTLY what I say!

    First, you have to sell the Prius IMMEDIATELY. Make up a For Sale sign and price it at $5999. Yes, you read me right: $5999 (hey, I'm not the one who made this mistake, and it's going to cost you to save your MANHOOD). Park at a Whole Foods market, the local wine bar or a Rainbow meeting. Better yet, PM me and I'll send you a cashiers check (hey, I know, I know, but I have to help out a fellow MAN - don't thank me).

    Next, you need to trade in that wimpy truck for a REAL MAN'S vehicle. Example: A Hummer H1 (not one of those Suburban-in-drag H2's or the soccer mom H3, but a REAL military HMMWV). Paint it camo. Mount a Ma Duce 50 cal. on the roof. Example 2: a Kenworth big rig complete with sleeper and chrome silhouette "Babes" on the grill. Example 3: a surplus M60A1 tank (no mods required).

    Finally, join a real MACHO organization. Something like Al Qaeda - they don't shave, have camels, dogs and Human Women as pets (the only difference between the pets is the camels and dogs have some rights - the Women do not) and kill gays on sight. They have nice, bushy MAN beards and don't use deodrant. You should fit right in.

    OK, that should help. You should be able to retain your MANHOOD if you act fast, before you get the urge to go to an Oxygen Bar or start collecting Queen CDs.
