I knew getting a Prius is kind of douchey. Well, not douchey, but probably kind of self-important. Well, maybe not self-important, but it also lumps me in with a lot of whackadoodles and I’ve sure found a lot of them on the intarwebs. I’m not sure why I spent the last hour reading arguments about why Toyota should be sued because you can’t run the Prius with NO GAS, just like it says in the manual. Sure it’s a hybrid, but it’s a frigging gas-powered car. You put gas in, you go. No gas, no go. Pretty simple to me, but there are nut bags arguing about it until they’re blue in the face.<\/p>\n
That’s why I liked having a Prius hybrid. I was supporting the new technology with my wallet but I wasn’t telling everyone that I had an ULTRA SPECIAL CAR. Just a Civic with a small hybrid sticker that you’d have to look for if you wanted to see it.<\/p>\n
Ah well. The real reason I got the new car is so I could play with it, and I am doing that. And by play I mean commute to work while distracting myself so I don’t think about work. Maybe if I just stream Pandora while I’m driving I won’t worry about all the other Prius nut bags. Which I could also do by staying off that one web site where they all were. So many easy solutions to this problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
