Have you ridden or driven a Prius? I've had mine to 110 mph before, and I don't know if I would drive my XJ above 90

Ive had my speedo pinned(goes to 100) when I was 3in and on stock tires. Had my sway bars then.

I remember when I was young and made dumb comments without knowing facts, guess it's just part of growing up... Then again the world is full of people talking about subjects in which know not what they speak

I have a long commute to work, all highway, I'll hit 90 and cruise past trucks and cars, it's fun to school guys in lifted diesel trucks how nimble and quick a Prius can be..

Ok enough defending the AMAZING Prius, I need to get my happy butt in gear and go wrench on my Jeep. Installing LED headlights, and 3 LED light bars

Haha I remember when people just realized that the prius is a battery on wheels. And the only way youd be flying bast desiels is if they weren't trying to go fast or its a na desiel. Any turbo will blow doors, especially on a prius. Sure there economical, but id pick up a tdi over a gay prius anyday, 45 a gallon, being able to smoke mustangs(been done), and dont look like you should be shopping at Gap. Like come on, most cars will haul *** on the interstate, but prius' s have no acceleration. Sure I don't know the specs of a prius, why would I, Most prius drivers dont. But I know my aunts chevy aveo will take one I had that thing govern at 125 on me. And what facts do I need to know, everyday I come across a prius owner who thinks there car as some pep, but I pull next to them, watch thetm try to take off, down **** and watch there smiles turn around, it was even funnier when I had mt jetta, maybe they thought "oh its another economy car, I might be able to take it" they probably **** bricks when they heard the tires spin and the diverter valve dump boost
