    Well, yesterday I got my keychain from Toyota. After reading the card it was glued to, I swear I had a strange feeling come over me. I felt as if Toyota was asking me if I wanted to be betrothed, or at least go steady. What is this Cult of the Prius, anyway??

    Those not inducted into the fold may not be told.

    You are to arrive at the old warehouse immediatly after sunset, during the final lunar phase of the equitorial alignment.

    Wear a robe.

    Bring a goat.

    Note: If a goat cannot be found, geese, bison or network TV executives may be substituted.

    The rules of PriusChat:

    1st RULE: You do not talk about PRIUSCHAT.
    2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about PRIUSCHAT.

    3rd RULE: If someone says "stop" or runs out of gas, battery dies, the drive is over.

    4th RULE: Only two Prii to a drive.

    5th RULE: One drive at a time.

    6th RULE: No shirts, no shoes - no problem.

    7th RULE: Driving will go on as long as it has to - and since this is a hybrid car, it will probably go on for a VERY LONG time.

    8th RULE: If this is your first night at PriusChat, you HAVE to drive.


    Blatantly and shamelessly stolen from the rules of Fight Club:

    1st RULE: You do not talk about FIGHT CLUB.
    2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about FIGHT CLUB.

    3rd RULE: If someone says "stop" or goes limp, taps out the fight is over.

    4th RULE: Only two guys to a fight.

    5th RULE: One fight at a time.

    6th RULE: No shirts, no shoes.

    7th RULE: Fights will go on as long as they have to.

    8th RULE: If this is your first night at FIGHT CLUB, you HAVE to fight.

    Sorry, I just watched this movie again last night so it was the first thing that came to mind :lol:

    Whoa! Hey guys, I live in California, fer Chrisakes! Don't you realize that we're by nature Highly Susceptible to these suggestions? Now I'll have to sell all my possessions, get a second wife (or marry my cat), and live in my Prius when it finally arrives??

    I prefer a different film model for the Cult of Prius:

    You will drive only hybrid vehicles. You'll conform to the identity we give you. From now on, you'll have no identifying marks of any kind (besides your keyfobs).

    You are a rumor, recognizable only as deja vu, and dismissed just as quickly. Anonymity is your name (Tom Hanks excepted.) Silence is your native tongue (so install that EV switch now!)

    You are no longer part of the system. You are above the system, over it, beyond it. We're "them." We're "they." We are the Guys in Prii.

    [Apologies to Rip Torn.]

    LOL, MIB and Star Trek quotes! How can we make the two into one Prius Cult quote? Hmmm...

    There. Stick the Borg line in at the end and it works. :mrgreen: Gawd I'm such a geek, 'cause I'm loving these quotes...

    Lovely! :clap:

    Though there are days when I want to pull a Darth Vader to the journalists who write misleading and incorrect articles about the Prius:

    LOL, Bookrats! Remember in the Matrix when all the hundreds of Agent Smiths lept upon Neo? We should get all Prius owners to do that to the gouging dealers and the misleading journalists. 8)


    Lets rename the forum to The P-Files!! "P" stands for Prius, of course. How's that sound? :mrgreen:
