#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.

why would i like a toyota? try a ford or chevrolet. what a dumbass.
stuffwhitepeoplelike is the lulziest blog ever. mega lulz at people not getting the joke -
I have a real grudge against Toyota. Eight years ago my wife bought an Echo for half the cost of a Prius. It gets almost the exact same gas mileage as the Prius, and it has more trunk space and has less gee-wiz techno crap to break. It has run like a top all these years and you know what? Toyota doesn’t make the Echo any more! It was competing with the Prius so they dropped the car that average people can afford to buy. AAAAAGH!
I live in Evergreen, Colorado where the white folks feel good about themselves for driving their Prii and using the same ziplock bag seven times. Then they get on a plane and fly to Cabo to take the kids on a Disney cruise. Oh yeah… we all do what we can, don’t we?
“…the white folks feel good about themselves for driving their Prii and using the same ziplock bag seven times. Then they get on a plane and fly to Cabo to take the kids on a Disney cruise….”
Word!
Is this the first time you’ve ever heard of a car manufacturer updating older models for newer ones? The Echo is now the Yaris in Canada. Looks better too.
You bet, I’m off to Puerto Vallarta next week.
Prius?! A Prius?! Are you kidding me? Who the hell writes these articles? Sounds like a personal diary to me. Damn I would like nothing more than to pile all these hybrid, hippie, bunny-hugging, “progressive”, wannabe Euro-trash, neo-socialist, elitist, bigots in an enormous pit and light it ablaze so that I can enjoy the slow-burn of a bad era of world history. Then roast marshmellows over the flames and revel in the screams of thousands of men, women and children that have this warped sense of how the world should be. It’s a sick world and it’s made worse by this infestation of filth that has evolved over the years by solving one problem only to create many more. I’m sure this will get some insane comments, but hey, it’s just a blog. Death is always certain.
“marshmellows”? I believe they’re “marshmallows.”
so sue me I miss-dis-pronunciated a word. that was ironical. I miss-dis-pronounciated a word.
It’s a common misconception about Pruis drivers.
A lot of us Prius drivers are not “hippie, bunny-hugging, “progressive”, wannabe Euro-trash, neo-socialist, elitist” yada yada yada.
Yeah, you might fantasize about toasting some helpless middle aged woman driving a Prius full of little kids… like you say, “It’s a sick world”.
But some of us aren’t helpless or weak.
Whenever Indian car makers created cars everyone can afford in India, whenever China uses 5 times more gas per day than America and the last non-Japanese auto maker in Detroit shuts down…we’re all gonna go nuts for Prius the same way French cars (i.e. Peugeot, Renault and FIAT) aren’t used as often like motorbikes are in older towns made for walking or horse carriages many centuries ago. +
I’m not saying ALL Prius drivers are, just stating my opinion about all these “yada yada yada” people that piss me off. That’s why we can post comments, to state our opinion. You have your’s I have mine. Most of all I was hoping to garner a few negative comments about mine as is so blatant by Mr. Sean Strife below: “You aren’t familiar with satire, are you? If you are, then you’re just a moron, because this blog is a blatant example of it.” Haw I can play people like that like a violin (and I don’t even have musical talent!).
You aren’t familiar with satire, are you? If you are, then you’re just a moron, because this blog is a blatant example of it.
Sigh. So easy. So simple, yet you missed the very concept you attempted to point out to me. This is a blog. Anybody can say anything they want, however they want and yet you assume that my comment is not satirical either? Haw, joke’s on you! If you think anything posted on the web is worth the time it takes to read (other than for amusement) then you my friend are in for a terrible awakening. by the way thanks for making my above statement true: “I’m sure this will get some insane comments, but hey, it’s just a blog.”
you dont even know what your saying. do you even know what the words you are saying mean? nah ya dont. white people also love saying elitist. its the new cool word. and this is true: da blog i mean.
heh, hehe, ha HAHA AAAAHHHH HAAAAAHAAAA HAAAAAA! You need to read #107 Self Aware Hip Hop References. Tragic. You also assume I’m white. Well now that you’ve made an ass of yourself look up those words and give me a lamen’s translation.
I’ll even help you out –
Progressive: Promoting or favoring progress toward better conditions or new policies, ideas, or methods.
Neo: The Greek prefix denoting new.
Socialist: Of, promoting, practicing, or characteristic of socialism.
Def. Socialism: Any of various political philosophies that support social and economic equality, collective decision-making, and public control of productive capital and natural resources, as advocated by socialists.
Bigot: one who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices.
And your favorite – elitist: Of or relating to elitism.
Def. Elitism: The superior attitude or behaviour associated with an elite.
Now tell me that does all make sense in the context of my rant. Next time, THINK before you comment.
“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
Kyle, you are a douche bag. such a douche bag. go kill yrself.
harsh words from someone who cannot validate their response or provide feedback that challenges the other person to respond.
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
Yeah…if they can make a Mercedes E63 get the fuel economy of a Prius, I’m in…otherwise, I’ll stick to burning copious amounts of premium.
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!
you f-cking douchebag. not everyone is rich like yr gayass and can afford a mercedes
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?
another black person, getting all bent out of shape over a website written from a satirical point of view…typical.
Go read the article on “Being Offended” – I think that applies to more blacks than whites anyways.
look whos offended now^^
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 (get ready for an Eric Cartman shtick), Obama has the best qualities for president compared to the other (McPain) candidate to carry on Bush’s economic disaster policies onto the next decade. Obama wasn’t elected by his race either and in the political party (Democrats) which done more to civil rights than Republicans. No wonder a high percentage of African-Americans registered to vote are Democrats. +
I’m trying to wrap my head around you quoting Immortal Technique to attack Barack Obama.
Kyle, Kyle, Kyle. What the hell are we going to do with you? Babble is normal. Why do you do it?
