all you prius owners who think your making a difference and that your car helps the enviornment, your not. actually your making it worse i got called out by a prius owner in the parking lot for driving a suburban. too bad that the prius's battery burns the equivelent of 25,000 miles of gas to produce (for the nickle or some shit) and they run out so if you drive 50,000 miles and your battery blows out get a new one its the equvelent of driving 100,000 miles. along with this the energy cost of a prius at is $3.25 per mile my suburbans is $2.94 per mile. im sorry for the rant but ive been called out a good 5 times about driving a suburban by prius owners fucking snobs

haha i know eh? i've been telling them this since the prius was introduced. not to mention the fact that they are supporting a car company that probably burns more fuel in one day making priuses than i'd burn for a year of driving a Tahoe

I'm not saying that driving a suburban is great either, because I somehow doubt you need a car that big, but thank you, fucking hybrid drivers are little bitches.

I'm sorry to say this, but I really think in the end the Hummer H2 and the Prius are equals.

i wouldn't say that a hummer and prius are equal, but i would say the owners are equally annoying.

also if you sell your car and buy a prius your fucking up the enviornement up more since someone else is gonna be driving your car anyway, and its just one more car toyota has to make, and producing a single car is alot worse for the enviornment than driving an suv.  
i could really care less if people drive huge excursions and shit.  the whole global warming thing is mostly bullshit, people flip shit over a .2 degree increce over one year, when it has happened all the fucking time in the past.  im all for having cleaner cars, but driving prius's isnt gonna do shit. once we find a new fuel source that actually works as well as gas, then it will become our new fuel source and the world will slowly switch from gas to whatever the new fuel source is.
we already have diesel, which is very clean, and works just as well as gas, hydrogen, which in like 10 years could probably work very well, you can use alcohol and its faster than gas and turns into water vapor.
for now your not doing shit by selling your suv for something more fuel efficiant, cause someone else is gonna be driving it just as much as you, and its just one more car the manufacturer has to pollute to make.  your car doesnt magically dissapear when you sell it.

WTF are you talking about? I don't pull shit out from thin air. I do research. I read, post my opinion, talk about the facts then that's it.

too bad it looks like a jelly bean. Seriously... they could make hybrid cars look cool but they usually look really stupid. I do like touchscreens and incredible gas mileage though.

im sorry but you must have not read it carefully enough but the people refuting the studies (Pacific Institute) is a "green" group of scientists so of course theyre gonna say its good and that the studies are wrong, just because your ignorant to what scientists have found true (several sources) doesnt mean you can call me out. also did you know that the battery when hit by a flame releases a highly toxic smoke so when they get in car accidents they have to bring in specialist teams instead of firefighters

half the people who drive them think they are saving the world though, it would be a great car to have if you dont want to spend alot of money on gas, but its not saving the earth like most prius owners think.

Dude, I don't even want to have a discussion about this. I just posted my personal feelings about the stupid autos and that was it. I've already read about this shit - months ago.

thats a blog really reputable im not fighting that the hummer is better for the environment than the prius i was just saying that theres alot of articles where you could get that, also that second paragraph makes you look like a prick playing the "you should give up now" card. it doesnt change the fact that prius's arent 40 times better for the enviornment than other cars which is what alot of prius owners believe
