Wow...... Is she sick or something? She's got a whopping hole in her marble bag lol.
Having little ones in the car, how come they weren't smart enough to just drive away? - Must have been a Walmarts parking lot ehh.

They should've just told her what I/we said about her damn Prius and its true pollution and damage to the environment.

You see that sort of thing often, ugly fat women who can't get a date taking it out on the rest of the world.

I have been looking around a bit and I haven't seen any aftermarket for the Prius. That seems like a logical conclusion though!

Sold it for the same price I bought for a year ago, so no loss and it covered half the cost of the Prius. The little Toyota gets 28 MPG at its speed limited 108 MPH. It gets 50+ around town. That's better than my turbo motorcycle. Crazy...

Oh yeah, it's faster than the Expy was too.
Done it a little differently. I haven't totally sold out for gas mileage, but I don't use the truck for a DD, - haven't for about 8 years or so. I downgraded to Mercury Marquis for awhile, - traded that in a few months ago for a new one, well an MKS anyway. I get twice the mileage the truck does, but still use it quite a bit. Trucks getting 13 mpg, last tank. The MKS is about 26 mpg.

I don't drive a whole lot, I couldn't imagine driving something smaller than what I'm using now. Probably feel nekid lol.

Chrome spinner straight outta the 90s, flames down the sides, and underglow neons are universal

I was arguing with a liberal friend of mine (female, smh) and showed her that video immediately after I posted it and she said "One, I'm not some 'fat Prius lady' and two, I never said anything bad about your truck!" "I never said ya were or did sweetheart, but you're all the same"

I think you need some "I drive the speed limit, deal with it" stickers on the back then see how often you get cut off!

That's not photoshopped. My research suggests they are good for 74 horsepower based on displacement and compression ratio.
