    Saw a really lame Prius yesterday on the 405 freeway.
    The red Prius had plastic spinner hubcaps, a big powered by Nike sticker on the rear window and Yosemite Sam mudflaps.
    :wacko:

    There is NO accounting for taste, or lack thereof...

    But heck, if they're happy! At least it's a Prius!

    was it more "rice" lame or "dork" lame?

    I've heard those spinner hubcaps improve your FE by 5 MPG's.... <_<

    That's right. I'm sure there are many out there who think us lame simply for driving a Prius, and vice versa.

    To each his own.

    Makes me think that it would be a great Twilight Zone episode. Where there's this guy who insists that the world would be a better place if only everyone liked what he liked and agreed with his points of view. Yeah, that would be a good one.

    I remember back in the day when people thought it was lame that I lowered and put 7inch wide wheels on my 77 rabbit. Turns out I was just way ahead of the curve!

    I may be sorry for asking this (and not that I really like spinners anyway) but what's dangerous about spinners?

    I don't know of a single person over the age of 16 that thinks spinning hubcaps are 'cool'. But at least they picked a cool car to put them on. Poor Prius. :)

    I still remember when our neighbor called me over to check out his new and expensive spinny hubcaps + locks on his trail blazer (house on wheels, IMO).

    Neighbor: what do you think of them?
    Me: do they improve your miles per gallon?
    Neighbor: No
    me: do the improve speed?
    Neighbor: No
    me: complete waste of money. Pretty, but a waste.

    Just to let you know, the Prius does not have crome spinner rims. The Prius has fake plastic spinner hubcaps.

    Well, they may have seemed like a waste of money to you, but not to your neighbor. I'm sure anyone could pick out things of yours that they would consider a complete waste of money. If something fills a need or a want for a person, then it is not a waste of money, regardless of what you think.
