    I just bought my first Prius yesterday after reading a lot about them on this forum. It is a white 2006 with 63,000 miles. My 16 year old son said he wouldn't drive it because of the un-coolness factor, so I said we could add some fun by putting some vinyl decals on it.

    1st idea was racing numbers on the front doors. I was thinking "50" with a smaller "MPG" below it and using a digital font that matches the speedometer. 2nd I want a blue stripe on both sides along the bottom, but instead of the text on the one you can buy online that says "Hybrid - Gas/Electric", I want to customize the text to say something funny like "Hybrid - Porsche / Prius" or "Hybrid - Slow & Style-less", but I can't think of something just right. I've read through the decals posts, but nothing jumped out at me. Any witty ideas???

    Humorous saying?

    How about a plaque for your son's bike that says, "My other car is a Prius!" :)

    "I'm not driving fast, I'm flying low"

    I have a Toyota Racing Development sticker across my back hatch window. I feel it makes it quite a bit quicker. As does removing the wheel trim rings!

    Although the Prius is my fast car, I was looking for a "I'm peddling as fast as I can" sticker for my '85 truck. The truck also has a "Honk if parts fall off" sticker but that doesn't seem to suit the Pri at all.

    Lucky kid--I had to wait 'till I was 27 to drive one...and I wouldn't trade it for any Vette, Lambo, or fill in the blank, even if it was straight-across.

    I wonder how a white, 2nd gen would look sporting "53" colors...hmmmmmmm

    I do not think 'My Prius is not a STD' will help your cause.

    You could go with 54 instead of 50 and some people would associate the answer to the question "Car 54 where are you?".

    Thanks everyone. I love the responses and humor. It is great that we can laugh at ourselves and our cars.

    The Prius is going to be our main family car that we drive if at all possible. I work from home, so don't drive much. We'll keep our Sienna to use as our SUV when we need to haul all 3 kids and or friends and stuff. My son will learn to drive in the Prius, but it is not his car. He'll have to buy his first car like I did. It might not be a Prius, because even the ones with 250K miles sell for $5K around here.

    I like the short replies that might fit on the side stripes, especially Regenerator or Shock and Awe!

    Do you have any pictures of your car? I mean...viinyl stickers...appear to add 'wow' factor such as HYBRID or TOYOTA or PRIUS across the upper windshield. I'D NEVER do it...but I'm not a teenager.

    of course it sounds like he would prefer this one.

    I've had plenty of people compliment my Prius... I like it just fine and its 'cool' enough for me. But I also have no vinyl stickers. ;)

    Too deep?


    Or
    300lb/ft @ 50mpg (or whatever 400Nm translates to)

    Don't push the vinyl thing too hard - it's pretty easy to make the car a whole lot more uncool with stickers.
    The Prius will 100% have less rust on the frame rails.
