I think someones a little grumpy.. Jk

It's pointless to care if he thinks your father lied or not. Does he know your father? NO. So would he know? NO. let it go. lol

Just chill and laugh at peoples ignorance, That's not meant to offend anyone. Obvious solutions to obvious problems.

wait until the owners have to replace that battery - it will not last forever.
i understand that used to cost over 3k and im sure they have gone up since then.
and if you really want to rag on them - make sure they know that the battery components are mined in canada and the environment around the average mine is where nasa tests off world vehicles as it is so screwed up.
then they train or truck the ore to the coast where it goes into a ship for transport to western europe. from there it is unloaded and sent east, where they have no laws against dirty smelting and poluting like crazy.
then it is shipped back to the coast where it is put on another ship and sent over to japan. japan sends it to the chicom coast where their excellent quality control is used to make the actual battery. then it is shipped to japan and unloaded where they add a few parts to be able to say made in japan.
then it is reloaded on a ship and sent to the west coast of America so yuppies can drive around and talk bad about those of us not driving them.
if you factor in all the transportation and manpower the thing is a worse polluter than we are.

Do thirdgen guys go around in the real world and make fun of Prius' owners? Or is it just on this forum?

*Assembled* in USA does not mean theyr'e *made* here, as assembly only accounts for ten percent of vehicle content. Where they're engineered is where the bulk of the dollars are paid. FWIW, Goldwing is approx 65% N.A. content. Harleys are over 95% North American content, far more than Goldwing, who next year will again be assembled in Japan.

Yes some H-D parts are *Chromed* in China, blame the EPA for that.

None of my three Harleys have ever been on a trailer in over 300,000 miles. In that time they've never needed a timing belt, carb sync, or water pump, or the final drive failures that modern GoldWings are known for.

It's not just thirdgen owners...It's everyone that has a brain and can think for themselves and are not sheepol. People that realize that buying a Prius really isn't going to do anything for the environment other than put money into Toyota's wallet. People that realize that if you bought a Prius over a cheaper economy car like a Kia Rio that the break even point is over 5 yrs and over 200,000 miles at the current fuel rates.....just on fuel cost alone not any maintence. People that doen't buy into the whole global warming Al Gore myth. People that realize that building a Prius pollutes more than building none hybrid cars. That's the people that make fun of the Prius and Prius owners.

But it seems to me like most of those people own cars that get nowhere near the mileage a Prius does?

BTW I own and daily drive an F-250 with a V-10, so I am the complete opposite of a Prius owner. Just wonder where all the hatred comes from?

Since when does EVERY Prius owner buy one in the name of saving the environment? That's a ridiculous statement. That's like saying every thirdgen owner has a ****** and listens to Whitesnake.

studdmstr

I don't think it's hatred, I think it's dislike for the lies that are being perpetuated to get people to buy cars like that and the pompous attitudes of the owners of the cars.

I have found that probably 1/2 the Hybrid owners lie about the mileage they are getting anyway.

novafirebirdguy

Hey, I like Whitesnake. But seriously, your completely right. My welding teacher has a prius and he DID NOT buy it for the environment, he's about as anti Al Gore as you can get. He bought it for the gas mileage because he lives an hour away from the school (he claims 45mpg overall). He also has a 10s 68 Camaro. He's a cool guy, are most pruis owners cool? No, some *** in a pruis flipped me off yesterday when I was going home in my bird.
Alex (yes I really do like Whitesnake, White Lion, Def Leppard and most other 80's bands)

I wasn't trashing Whitesnake, just using them as a stereotype example.

A lot of Prius owners are *******s...just like Mustang owners, Fbody owners etc.

In all honesty, it seems like a lot of car owners are *******s, or am I just mean?


In response to Street Lethal, I'm not really that into 80's music ( except for Van Halen, love em), just have a few LP's and listen to it occasionally. What I love is driving around in an 80's car, listening to loud 80's music and just seeing the look on people's faces. Some look like they'll puke, some double take, some start laughing hysterically, and one guy gave me thumbs up. But I really hate it when they try and drown me out with their Jonas ****

I'm more into 60's stuff, Jefferson Airplane, The Beatles, Crosby Stills and Nash. Ya know, the stuff no one listens to anymore.

Old people seem to HATE me

Yeah that's what we play when one of my friends is in the car.

White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane makes people double and then they're like "WTF!?!"

a simple answer to his question would have been to just let me him know that your average mpg's are right around his average horse. He can't win. Sorry but a guy on guy verbal dispute is always won by the man with the faster car. Especially at a light. Can't come back from it.
