I drive 1,000 miles a week, and these kind of ego's on the road are terrible. I set my cruise at 80, and if I need to pass you, I switch lanes, cruise still on, and pass. It drives me insane when someone I'm passing speeds up to match my speed or get faster than me simply because their ego can't let someone pass them. Inevitably, they slow back down and we repeat the nonsense charade.

That being said, you simply can't win with a Prius Driver. They're either hogging the left lane on the interstate doing 63 miles per hour because it's the optimum cruising speed for the hwy gas mileage and they have a right to be in the left lane....

OR....

They're trendy f nuggets that only have one so that they can say they do, yet do 120 down the interstate and ride everyone's ass they can.

Ive never had a prius pass me on a 2 lane road most are cruising at or under the speed limit. But on the highway those things are flying by like 75 85 mph and in Hov lane by themselves. I dont care if someone in any car passes me on a 2 lane road if im going too slow which im hardly ever doin then they are exessively speeding and ill let them get the ticket.

I am more concerned about the Prius drivers son that was probably in the car.

Now the kid knows that his dad is a tree loving hypocrite with a weenie gutless car.

On second thought, people who would drive a Prius probably don't breed.

I was going to make a rude remark about the driver not being able to get laid or not being interested in women.

That last comment was meant for comedy and not to offend anyone in particular.

Just to add some more Eco car stupidness to this thread:

I was driving a smart car once and beat a Ferrari



Ok, Ok, so Maaaybe I was doing 75 on the freeway and he was on the onramp just getting on and didn't know we were racing for those 2.5 seconds ..... But I passed him and took the win

That's not racing that's making sure your not following a Prius.
