Can anyone help me find the post about the member here who had a prius owner come up to him and try to bash his jeep until he was explained how un-ecofriendly his prius actually was.

 

Funny you bring that up, I was looking for that post the other day as well. hope someone can find it. that was a great post.

I find that using Google to search is WAAAY better than the forum's own search. Thanks to Mark Doiron I learned to do this in Google:

enter your search terms as "prius site:jk-forum.com"

Great trick!

ps - actually this is a different thread - I remember the one you are looking for but can't find it even with the Google "trick"

 

Agree with the search haha. I do the "site: jk-forum.com" trick all the time.

I was really hoping that this thread would be something about a Prius *crashing into* (or should I say "crumbling into a ball of twisted metal and bouncing off of") a Jeep.

 

I really want to see this thread now! I love the environment but my Jeep's not evil. I tried explaining to a friend of mine (hippie wannabe) how owning a medium sized family dog has a larger carbon footprint than my Jeep because of dog food factories, fields and ranges to grow ingredients, and transport on 18 wheelers. He freaked out! It would be a blast to bring up a Prius argument with him.

 

Not to throw everybody into the same bucket, but I am always amazed at the sense of elitism that Prius owners all seem to have.

You buy one battery car and suddenly you get a lifetime, free to be an a-hole, pass.

Battery car is great if it works for you, but no need to almost run me over when i'm on my Harley.

99% of all Prius drivers... drive like sh1t ...IMHO.

 

Ha! My brother-in-law just got a Prius a few weeks ago, and was trying to laugh about how his car got WAY better mileage than my JK. That was until I pointed out the fact that his "car" looked like a giant shoe, and that I could LITERALLY drive up the front of it and park on top if I wanted to.


...he shut up after that point.

 

Is this it?

Nope - that's not it either. I remember the one the OP is looking for. Guy with a JK is stopped at a gas station, Prius owner starts into him about gas mileage etc and then the JK owner quotes all the non eco-friendly stats about the Prius and its batteries, manufacturing costs etc and shuts the guy right up.

Toyota must have paid WOL to pull the thread!
