#60 Toyota Prius
February 7, 2008 by clander
Over the years, white people have gone through a number of official cars. In the 1980s it was the Saab and the Volvo. By the 1990s it was the Volkswagen Jetta or a Subaru 4WD stastion wagon. But these days, there is only one car for white people. One car that defines all that they love: the Toyota Prius.
The Prius might be the most perfect white product ever. It’s expensive, gives the idea that you are helping the environment, and requires no commitment/changes other than money.
The Toyota Prius gets 45 miles per gallon. That’s right, you can drive 45 miles and burn only one gallon of gasoline. So somehow, through marketing or perception, the Prius lets people think that driving their car is GOOD for the environment.
It’s a pretty sweet deal for white people. You can buy a car, continue to drive to work and Barak Obama rallies and feel like you are helping the environment!
Some white people decide to pull the ultimate move. Prius, Apple Sticker on the back, iPod rocking, and Democratic Candidate bumper sticker. Unstoppable!
There are a few ways you can use this to your advantage. If you are carpooling to an event or party you can always say “can we take your Prius? my car doesn’t get good mileage and I feel guilty driving it.” And bam! Free ride! 
Also, if you see a white person in a Prius you can say “wow, that’s great to see that you’re doing something for the earth.” The white person will feel very good about themselves and offer to drive you home, to Ikea, or drop you off at 80s night.

“Some white people decide to pull the ultimate move. Prius, Apple Sticker on the back, iPod rocking, and Democratic Candidate bumper sticker. Unstoppable!”
LMFAO! I’ve seen TONS of those in my town. Pisses me the hell off. I’m thinking about putting a McCain sticker and a gun rack on my prius hahaha
I have a prius, but I certainly didn’t get it to save the environment. Screw that. The battery in the prius will cause FAR more harm to the environment when it is recycled (or thrown away) than would have been caused by all the gas I will save. I got the prius to spite people like Hugo Chavez who think that capitalism is evil and that economic progress is evil. The prius represents a technological accomplishment that would (and has) only be made possible by free market capitalism. And I like that it gets great gas mileage; but I also have a Dodge that gets about 6 miles to the gallon.
I’ll stick with my gas guzzling, air polluting, luxury sedan
I have a Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI and not only is it better looking, more powerful, and overall a much better car than the Prius, it is also extremely fuel efficient and quiet. The Prius is a joke! It has like 20 horses! Everyone should get diesels, especially Mercedes-Benz diesels because their awesome! My E320 CDI gets over 780 miles on one tank! The Prius can’t do that! Plus I can at least make it up a steep incline in my Mercedes (unlike with a Prius) Down with the Prius and down with Hybrids!
Well, Hank, I can top that. I drive 3/4 ton Dodge Ram pickup with a 6.7 liter diesel engine with enough power and torque to pull you and 100 more of those Maytag Meserschitts up Pikes Peak; all with your brakes on. Plus, it is what good looks are about. One more thing, safety. Who is the last driver to die? Prius, Meserschitt, or Dodge driver?
well you’re a dick.
I beg to differ on your article and your statements….
I’m a young BLACK college student who is a big Prius fan. In fact, I’m in the process of trying to own a Prius myself. They get awesome gas mileage and its perfect for me given how much I drive each day between school, sports, church, scouts, and other activities. On Sundays I have to drive well over 50 miles from my house to church and the vehicle I’m driving now just doesn’t cut it for me. So if you have your head stuck up your behind so far to the point that you believe that things are only “black and white” if you will, then how can you appreciate all the work done by MLK, Malcolm X, and anyone else who fought for racial equality?
What would MLK drive?
White people driving a Prius?
Your head is so far up your rear end that maybe you should be a HumVee.
check out what obama said about himself in illinois on the 28th.. he admits he is not the best choice and innexperienced. i was undecided but his lack of ability to lead and speak without a teleprompter makes me think of the latter of the two. I dont trust him.period
The election just showed that you aren’t normal.
In the words of Immortal Technique, “Universal truth is not measured in mass appeal.” Normality does not imply intelligence - quite the opposite, in fact. It is a fact that rational ignorance applies to all Americans. Just because there are millions of ignorant morons who jumped at the chance to vote for a black democrat while knowing absolutely nothing about him or about ANY of his foreign, public, or economic policies does not mean that he was good choice. Even most democrats (specifically those who worked on the Obama campaign) agree that, had people voted on issues, McCain would have blown Obama away. Ironically enough, although having a black president represents the utmost in freedom and equality, Obama is one of the most anti-liberal (especially with regard to the economy and public policy) Presidents this country has ever had.
Kyle, Kyle, Kyle. What the hell are we going to do with you? Babble is normal. Why do you do it?
