Fawking Prius owners

They do that shit here also Don. They also like to come ripping up the fast lane and then slow while passing the car in the slow lane for 1/4 mile. Makes cruise control a real chore to use.

I want to mount a couple of .50 cals in the front of the 2500HD and go Mad Max on their asses.

Obummer and Bloomberg don't want you to have any guns let alone .50 cals.

But.....

A friend of mine told me about 35 years ago his solution to dumb asses on the road was to have a plow blade on his truck. He said no one gave him any shit when he drove through intersections or if he was behind someone. He said everyone got out of his way.

I don't know if this would work now, because so many of these assholes are watching their "smart" phone or their stupid console menus.

......Again we are not really a car culture anymore.

Cars are bad. Guns are bad. Freedom is bad. Blah, blah, blah go the latte(sp?) (is that how you spell that pussy coffee?) drinking douche bags.

You need to get out more.
I was getting 45 MPG in my 1981 Toyota Starlet and it was actually fun to drive.

Nice as fuck? What is your criteria? Fuel economy? Buy a Geo Metro and save yourself $20k.
Interior finish? Cool cosmetics? Fun to drive? See my first comment if so.

You have a point, but there isn't a single new car in America that gets over 40mpg and isn't boring to drive. Maybe some diesels.

New cars? Aren't you like 19? Who gives a fuck about new cars.
Find something that is fun to drive, that you can work on and learn about cars on, and that you can pay CASH for. Car loans are for suckers. Plus with a car loan you have to get full coverage insurance, which you may as well add onto the monthy cost. Also, don't get sucked into the "build your credit" lie. Fuck your credit. Pay cash for everything and you never need it. When you are 30 and starting to think about buying a house, you can worry about your credit then. Worrying about your credit now is what leads to people having fucked up credit.

But, you want a new car that is fun to drive huh? Cheap econobox cars that are light and tossable can be fun. I know one guy who had a 400 hp 2WD rally car and a 2000 Hyundai Accent and said the Accent was the funnest car he'd ever driven. Of course, he was probably just talking about street car. He still drives it as far as I know, and he just bought a new house that has a real pool.

I mean, an 81 Starlet would be a cool car for me, I love starlets, but when I told my mom I wanted a 90's Volvo, she nearly had a heart attack.

What's her problem?
Is your family a rich upper crust trophy house needing, status symbol dependent, only new car owning family?
Some people---10s of millions really do drive cars from the 1990s,.
What is this "heart attack"...I fear you exaggerate.

Give you a hint: If I has some male kid I would make sure he was in some strong. relatively safe, easy to work on car that didn't cost HIM a lot.
because young guys--especially from privileged backgrounds---and it sounds like that the case----crash cars...

Letting them even get near ANYTHING means that it will be fucked up..

What car does mommy want you to be in?

Get an Accent (change the timing belt). I can't imagine hating my son enough to get him a Volvo for a DD. Horrid cars, slow, wobbly, expensive to work on, working tail lights a rarity, oil leaking, funny smelling and you'll die a virgin.

My mom said she wants my dad to buy me a new car. The thing is, our family isn't the crusty, super rich, whateverthefuckyoucalledit family. So if I have to get a new car, I will probably have to wait until I'm 25 and have graduated college. Were a 4 person family living in a 2 bedroom house (not complaining. I like my house) and we only ever bought 5 cars as a family, and the only reason we bought them is because one of our cars died. My mom just HATES the idea of buying a used car. Even though her first car was bought used. I think its because my cousin died before I was born, and the car he died in was bought used, but always had problems. My dad is perfectly fine with it tho.

Well if it isn't that where does the taste for debt come from?
Youre a kid, you're gonna crash whatever you get, so it better be cheap.

We've never really been in really bad debt. And I don't know. My dad was never rich, he's an immigrant and worked for everything he has. As for my mom, my grandfather was also an immigrant, and they never made alot of money either.

Between Olympia and Seattle they tend to plant themselves in the fast lane and do just under posted speed limit. It is a constant event. They don't look left or right or acknowledge the constant stream of cars passing them on their right. I really think there is a Prius Anarchy where the SOBs get together and plan their rolling road blocks.

Any time I see a Prius, the guy's cutting through traffic like a linebacker.

FFM.

They all suck, unless you grew up playing video games and think that road feel is something that needs to be isolated and quarantined.

I blame steamroller tires with rubberband sidewalls. The suspension changes needed to be able to drive on those in a straight line and not hammer down the road like a Radio Flyer have completely nuked driver feel.
