Stereotypes of cars

[Anonymous]

OMG, Prius drivers are just the worst. Not just slow, but terrible drivers, too! 75 percent of the time I see someone making a dumb-ass move on the road, it turns out to be a Prius. Glad I can vent about this here because I can't say it in real life because one of my friends drives one.

Someone told me Subarus were for lesbians so I got this instead.

Ha! I got my Subaru because it was marketed for lesbians. I'm a straight lady with 2 kids. It helps me pretend I'm still cool.

I mean, you really need to have a fundamental lack of interest in any aspect of driving to tolerate a Prius. Supposedly the handling has gotten better the last two model years, but its literally the least enjoyable to drive car I've ever driven.

Usually driven by overweight middle-aged women as their mid-life crisis car.

I bought a Mini the first year it came to the US. Back then it was me and the young-to-middle-aged, baseball cap-wearing, gear-head type men. And if we ever saw each other on the road, we always waved.

Me too!! Back in 2003/2004. It was a fun time when Mini drivers would waive at each other.

Mom car for mom who thinks she's too cool for a minivan:

Those are suburban mom cars. City mom cars are more like:
Forester
Mazda 5
Prius

Part 1: absolutely true. Especially true for the Pilot & MDX.
Part 2: What neighborhood are you talking about?? Or maybe you are not in DC. Forester & Mazda 5 are extremely rare, almost nonexistent in my area of NW. I see Prius on the roads but usually driven by old people or lame middle-aged men.

There are a ton of Foresters in Capitol Hill. Including ours.

I'm surprised that Mr. Dousche didn't add that Nissans are for POC.

It's funny. There was a study a few years ago that purported to prove that luxury car drivers really were bigger jerks. Researchers tracked whether cars snuck out of lane and whether they stopped for pedestrians at crosswalks, then scored the vehicle on luxury status. It turns out people with more expensive cars are less respectful drivers. The sole non-luxury car that scored poorly was the Prius. He researchers hypothesized that since it was California, the Prius was a status symbol car despite its price. So anyhow, maybe there's more truth to what you're saying than you realize.

Prius is definitely a status car in SF (lots of Silicon Valley types drive them) and parts of LA (there was a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where all Larry's Hollywood friends drove them, making those that did not drive them feel ashamed.)

We definitely want you to feel ashamed. Everyone should be as environmentally astute as us Prius drivers. Or get off the road.

Man, I feel kind of bad for the Prius drivers when the Model 3 hits the road. Going to be the worst day for y'all since the solar installer told you it was only economically viable if you put the panels on the back side of your house where nobody could see them.

OMG, I'm howling with laughter!!!!!! Awesome visual, and no doubt spot-on!!!!!!

Stop calling us Persian. We are Iranian. And proud of it. And we want you to know that we speak French. Fluently. And talk about you, and think you don't understand Farsi or French. So keep pretending you don't.

Persian, Iranian, whatever.... I just call you "hairy". That's why you wear gold chains - so you know where to stop shaving.

I'm a Prius driver (early 30's mom) and I drive slowly, mostly out of spite. I can't stand it when people ride my @ss. So instead of speeding up, I gradually let my foot off the gas and let the person behind me suffer. So Prius driver = self righteous a-hole? Yes.

I keep a bar of Ivory Soap in my car for drivers like you who are 99 44/100% pure asshole, to soap your windows when you stop at the light.
