Wife: "What are you talking about?"

That dialog should never have happen , if you had taken the time to explain this and others laws of [gravity ]

If there was a passing lane and you were driving slow enough to warrant the Prius passing you then you just did an ass-hole move and could have possibly put the Prius in a dangerous situation if someone driving at 100mph came from the other lane and hit the Prius head on because he couldn't pass you, just because you think your Camaro is hot stuff.

Sorry but had to call it how I see it.

You both don't seem to understand... Disney has brain washed us all in Orlando. Leave our bubble and its a ruthless world out there lol. Their guns aren't full of kittens and sunshine like they are here...

I gotta admit, I laughed..... but

I have to agree, if the Prius was trying to illegally pass because it was a double yellow and he was being an ass... then give him a full blast and make him drop a brown egg in his pants...

But instead, If you are driving slow enough in a legal passing zone that a Prius has to actually pass you, that is just flat out embarrassing and that is why OP reacted the way he did..essentially placing someone in a very dangerous situation. This is why eco-box owners keep approaching me with smart ass remarks because they have a pre-existing notion of what we, as muscle car drivers, are...

If a parable is a short moral story...... well then alright.

The words "race" and "prius" should never be used in the same sentence.

In my neck of the woods, I see Prius owners driving like they have muscle cars. Crazy but true.

...this isn't street racing, this is keeping the stars aligned...

and i'm sorry but if you buy a V8 Camaro and DON'T have fun with it from time to time, well, you wasted about $10,000... should have bought the damn V6, lol

maybe its just because i'm one of the younger people here... now i'm not saying go out and get several folks killed street racing but, well, if a Prius or any import tried to pass me on a 2-lane road.... i'm probably going to join the "Oh no you don't" crowd

Great story about putting your family and others lives in danger by racing a prius? Did it ever occur to you that he may have had his cruise control set a few mph higher than you and just wanted to pass? Sorry, but people like you give sports cars in general a bad name.

My question would be "why are you going slow enough that a Prius even needs to consider passing you?".

Do that again and you lose your Camaro card lol!!!
