I have a propensity
for surreptitiously urinating on the door handles of Priuses (prii?). Today, after having insured that I could not be observed, I baptised one such prius in a parking lot near where I was working, and schadenfreude, usually my arch enemy, caused the Prius in question to be the property of one hated safety moron at my customer’s location.
Sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug.
Another such delightfully juvenile, delightful and effective technique is “Super Sizing” wherein one scatters a generous serving of french fries on or near the mark’s vehicle. In coastal areas such as Seattle the Shipyard Supervisory asshat who parked his two day old pickup across three very hotly contested parking spaces was the beneficiary of the undivided attention of dozens of nature’s most prolific shit factories, the raucous gull. Gull shit is very caustic and will cause automotive paint to fail in minutes. Insurance does not cover this paint failure, neither does the warranty. (mfffsnortgiggle)
LOL Supersizing!!!!
I’ll have to remember that one!!!!
Got any others Gerry?
Supersizing is rather brilliant, we are familiar with the dangerous paint-eating acidity of gulls in this area.
I don’t care how much you water, possibly evev fertilize a Prius, they cannot be transformed into a ’60-70’s ear muscle car.
Not all Prii are owned by weenie Obama voting Gun Fearing Weenies…..You might find it a bad thing to baptize my prius. Some (We are a minority, I admit)of us prius owners are heavily aremd and not so gentle…. Some of us drive them because they are decent cars that get good mileage (mine is used for travel where I do not need my diesel Dodge, which uses just a wee bit more fuel per mile…)
I drove mine to the Indy Blogmeet, cost me a lot less to drive 300 mikes round trip than the truck….
Well, better one innocent person suffer than ten thousand guilty go free. Put a Palin sticker on it and I’ll leave it alone. Or even Ron Paul.
I have no issue with thrift, by my nature I’m the cheapest bastard alive. hence, there’s no way I could own a Prius, because of the long term expense of ownership. By the time a Prius has racked up as many miles as my truck, (over 350,000 miles) the cost of ownership is almost five times as much, and I usually carry 600 lbs of tools, which makes anything smaller than an Explorer or Jeep a waste of time. And since I can’t afford to have a fleet of vehicles, The truck has to do everything I need it to do.
Oh, as for well armed- I been shot before. And I never do this when I might have a chance at being caught. I did hit a prius in the Ripple before I left, hope it wasn’t yours.
Ya gotta buy them cheap in order to keep the cost of ownership down.
My truck doesn’t cost me much either, I burn waste Veggie for most of the year….But the priusd I got after the 2010 model came out so it was fairly cheap, and I got a bumper to bumper extended warranty for free…
I regularly carry in excess of 500 lbs of stuff to gun shows in the prius with no issues, but that fills it up to max. No issues with my truck in that department. Right tool for the job and all that.
Cost to drive is still less for my truck IF the prius goes for 200K….
BTW, no dents in mine after we left the Brewpub, so it must have been some other prius.
I usually hit them in the center of the Obama sticker……
Yer a big guy, BTW, so I’d most likely have to shoot you several times. But that is why I carry a spare mag.
Seriously though, Not all prius owners are GFW Obama supporters.
I was “green” before it was popular. I will be even after the Glowbal Warmening craze has aded.
It’s mostly because I am cheap.
Hope my truck goes 350K…
by “hit” i mean “pee on”. and the prius in question had several obama stickers, dont think it was you.
I looked at a Prius because of the mileage, but the low payload, poor performance, cost of ownership, and overall environmental impact made me stay away. A bmw 325 under normal driving conditions (well, normal for me) gets better mileage. The lithium batteries are toxic to make, can’t be recycled, and will sit in a landfill leaking crap for 30000 years. Plus, most extended warranties don’t cover them, and if they fail, you have a 23 hp go-cart. Unless you’re willing to spend 5k for a new pack.
I also looked at a hybrid escape, but gave up on it for most of the same reasons. The tech will eventually improve, I hope, but for me, for now, its just stupid expensive and I just don’t have the cash to sling to do something with such little utility and high overall cost of ownership.
