Default HELP, my office has been invaded by Prius owners.

I came into work this morning and found we had some visitors from our other office and i unknowingly walked into a conversation about mileage. I was gonna throw my 2 cents in when i realized it was 2 Prius owners.

I might need to find a new job or turn in my man card because this place is going down hill fast

I used to work for the EPA. You have no idea how fast things can go downhill That parking lot looked a lot like:

|Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius|
|Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius|
|Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius|
|Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius|
|Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius|
|Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Prius| |Jeep| |Prius|

Prius drivers = Eco terrorists.

If they truly wanted to save the earth, they wouldn't be driving a car that supports earth-destroying mining operations for battery components, to build cars for a company that sends its profits home to Japan and pays employees in 3rd world countries meager wages for dying in mines. They wouldn't be driving at all. They'd be riding a bicycle or taking the bus or train to work.

Not to mention, you'd never personally drive a car that looks like a shoe. (Seriously...)

If they're still hung up on an EPA fuel economy rating, turn the conversation to capability. The Jeep is arguably more capable in almost every situation.

Let them save fuel, more gas for me. Just wish they would stop hyper-miling in the fast lane, damn road boulders.

Very true I'm sure. I guess when it's not in their back yard they don't care.
