General Mayhem

[Lautakwah]

are freaking obnoxious ass drivers.  gg the most obnoxious and dangerous drivers i've ever had to deal with on the road...even more obnoxious than ricers and that requires a pretty damn high degree of obnoxiousness.  they speed, they tail gate, they weave in and out of traffic like they're special or something.  someome tell them that gunning their rc cars like that sorta defeats the purpose of driving around in hybrid. 

[Rhox]

OMG... i hate HATE hybrid drivers.. they act like they own the road and think they are high and mighty...  these f-ers always ALWAYS try to race me.. (i got the G35 coupe)

and my thoughts exactly on saving energy.. if they got a hybrid, don't they want to conserve more energy by not wasting it in the means of driving recklessly?

[Lautakwah]

yeah i seriously can't stand them...and it always some bastard in a stupid pruis...ahahaa with wanting to drag...lets see
0 - 60 in 11.3 seconds and the quarter mile in over 18 seconds...hmmm, lemme get in my 30 year old mini van and they might have a chance.

[Silverback]

must be the cars you guys drive cuz no one ever tries to race my Accord....haha

[onions]

i have yet to experience this on the road.

however, having known a hybrid owner or two, they are pretty dickish.

[Dracus]

a lot of people ask me if my Element is a hybrid.  So maybe I'm the dickish driver? 

[Lautakwah]

nah prius'ssss have never tried to race me, hell not even ricers give me a second look cuz i drive an old mans car.  rhox though with his g35 must get revved on at every red light...oh.  haha.

ahem a small snipet...."The Honda, on the other hand, didn't deliver what Kessner craved: green street cred. "If I'm driving a hybrid," he says, "I want people to know it."

[Dracus]

street cred seems to be the phrase of the week.

what an insult to the term.  green street cred, psssh.  unless you're off killing puppies, it ain't no street cred.

[Lautakwah]

and to continue with the car sillyness....i dont get this at all...in short a landrover short movie i guess that showed a land rover lr3 racing a bmw m6.......on an icey and snowey track.  they then proclaim how great the lr3 is...yeaaaah.  forget about a jeep...a jeep woulda embarrassed the landrover...if that lr3 coulda beaten an evo or a wrx i woulda been impressed.

in efforts to increase street cred with the Toyota Prius, Michael Vick has agreed to be the new spokesman for the green car, with a new slogan: 
"Only Michael Vick can save energy while mowing down his loser pitbulls.  The all new Mean Green Prius, in our new Pitbull Slaughter Red"

really? I like the Civic hybrid because it looks like a NORMAL car.

[Jebus]

reminds me of this episode of south park...entitled "smug alert"
http://www.southparkzone.com/episode-vid-1002.htm
Stan persuades all the citizens of South Park to buy hybrid cars. A disaster of epic proportions threatens the town and Stan is to blame -- just as everyone starts to feel really good about what they’re doing to help save the earth, scientists discover a stormy, dark mass accumulating over the town.

[pansy]

haha speaking of crazy prius owners.  on the way to class on the 680 today a prius had a "prius nation" bumper sticker inside the back window.  i guess they are a cult now!

[jest1]

like celia, i have yet to experience this. as a matter of fact, in the bay area, i would wager to say the opposite. .  that hybrid owners are overly slow and cautious on the road.
