Bloody Prius drivers.

After that cussing tirade, I would have been tempted to rev the engines. Watta maroon.

i'd just show her this: http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=8560

I bet she likes the smell of her own farts.

I actually agree with the Prius driver on most of her points, but thumbs up to the bigrig driver for remaining reasonable throughout the tirade.

A Prius isn't nearly as eco-friendly as a bike, or a bus, or walking. If you care so much about it to go haranguing other people about what they drive, you shouldn't be driving a car at all.

She reminds me of the religious zealots. They, also, think they are superior and have the right to tell people what to do, and when to do it. (Kudos to them for keeping cool heads, many wouldn't have.)

I drive a Prius, but I don't agree with what this woman did.

People have the right to drive what they want. Everyone has different priorities in their lives. Perhaps he has to haul shit every day and he needs a truck. I don't need to do that and I dislike paying for gas and I like to decrease my carbon footprint as much as possible (a bike / public transport is impractical in my living situation).

Respect other people's decisions. Is that so hard?

What happens with all them batteries? Where do they dig up all that Nickel?

It never fails to amaze me that self-righteous Prius drivers (as opposed to normal ones) never seem to realize it costs the environment MORE just to build their stupid car than it does to build and run the average "gas guzzler". But then the environmental side has its share of idiotic nutters who don't care about reality or facts, just like the climate change deniers have as well.

didn't mythbusters show that a 300+ HP BMW M3 actually was more fuel efficient on a track than a Prius?

looks like a case of the Mondays to me!

Always love the obligatory "don't touch me" routine during these discussions. Why is he even engaging with this ranting psycho? None of your business crazy lady, take a hike.

I used to drive a Prius. Depending on how old the Diesel truck is it might be better for the environment than a new prius. A new car takes a lot to put into it, there was a report done on the Prius in particular, it gets its batterys from a plant in Canada I believe and around that plant it's become a complete wasteland. Also it's components are shipped from other parts of the globe on boats which burn TONS of fuel as well.

You want something good for the environment, buy a used car from someplace where another person won't be buying a new car to replace it. Keep your car on the road and take care of it, that's the best you can do.

Her self righteousness is just disgusting. She is the judge and the master.

Well it seems that there are a few reporters who have done their research and who would disagree with those statements. This article focuses more on the battery farce and addresses Yogi's statement about the "wasteland" in Canada (also a peer reviewed article does the same).

Both those articles are about Hummer vs. Prius, not what I was talking about at all.

The first article talks about an old used car vs. a Prius. Wasn't that your point, that a used car is more environmentally friendly?

Was this really about a Prius driver vs what looked like to be some sort of Avalanche driver or was it an over dramatic woman bitching about some dude in a big truck pulling up next to her and idling in what seemed to be a relatively empty portion of a parking lot?

Disregarding the "environmental" concerns between the two opposing vehicle factions, what the dude did is still considered rather rude. He could have parked anywhere, but chose to pull up next to the two parked Prius(i) and sit at idle. From the way the wife got all bent out of shape, the 'lanche couple seemed every bit as entitled as the woman. True colors were thrown around by both parties here.

1. He can park anywhere he chooses. Fine.
2. He can idle his truck as he pleases. Fine.
3. She could have chosen to pack up and move. Fine.

Ultimately, he had every right to be a douche and she had every right to return said douchiness back, but this could have easily been avoided by a little considering for "the next guy." Instead, it's like a giant troll video about fat, bitchy Prius drivers vs marketing/horse owners and their Detroit awesomesauce.
