#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.

Toyota Prius suck

why didn’t they give the prius a cooler name.
Oh wow, I can’t believe this is a topic. I’m so excited because I HATE Prius’s and I’m a white person. I live in a central California coastal community and everyone here drives subarus, prius’s, and now even those horrible, unsafe tiny ‘smart’ cars. I stand out in the crowd in my small snobby town but I don’t care. I drive a Tahoe, an F250 4×4 truck, a ’67 Camaro and my husband has a big Ford van for his job. Until we are all forced to drive smaller cars, I will continue to drive a big vehicle simply due to safety and better visability. You wouldn’t catch me dead in one of those tin can death traps. I drove my mom’s Corolla the other day and couldn’t see a darn thing coming out of a simple store driveway. No ones pays my gas bill but me and if anyone complains, they should be riding a bike not driving a Prius – they still use gas.
Hey genius- you’re much safer in a small nimble car that can actually avoid things rather than plowing through them. News flash- you’d be safer in a Prius then in your piece of shit Tahoe or Ford truck. (check out crash test videos of Ford pickups). And if you think you’d be better off in an accident in a ’67 Camaro then in your mom’s Corolla, you really are a moron.
Hey genius, oh yeah I just “plow through” people and other cars on the road. What an idiot you are. I never said I’d be safer getting in an accident in the ’67 Camaro but it’s a heck of a lot cooler to drive than a Prius or a Corolla. To each his or her own. I happen to like my Ford truck. What can you haul in a Prius? 2 bags of groceries? I actually use my truck to haul things to work on my house and garden. You probably don’t own a house, live in a condo or worse, live with your mother still. Grow up.
Well then you’re just the worng kind of white person.
Soooo true. A souped up Toyota Prius doesn’t look right. Can you see a Toyota Prius with some rims on it? Subwoofers in the trunk? No? I didn’t think so. Maybe this is why everytime I am in San Jose, Oakland, and Richmond there isn’t a single Prius in sight?
As soon as I drive to San Francisco or Danville the place is cluttered with them.
Same is true not to see a Mercedes in Indio/Coachella, but just about every second car is in Palm Desert and Indian Wells. The Prius fad is in Palm Springs, as well in downtown Cathedral city right by Rancho Mirage…and guess who fixes them in auto repair shops? Yeah, Hispanics and rednecks. Good money, and mechancis can buy/own a Ford F-150. +
Its ironic how liberals love Priuses because of their marginally improved gas mileage, but they have no qualms about buying a foreign car. Interesting how leftism has abandoned the labor movement in favor of environmentalism.
In the midwest, especially Michigan, if you have a foreign car you are a pariah.
Where do you think most Accords are made? How about a Chevy Aveo?
dont say liberals like this piece of shit car!!!! if i could i would put them all on a little island and bomb them all!!! same for PT cruisers!!
btw im very liberal… but there are some cars that dont look right no matter how u look @ them…(my sis owns a PT cruiser and i h8 it… >.> but the 1999 chevy lumina is my fav of all time!)
and no h8in on me cuz im a kid..
You didn’t need to say you were a youngster; it was likely by your reply. As you age you’ll see that appearances matter very little, in all things. All through the gas prices rising, I could care less about looks. Just spending $20 a fill-up was worth it all.
So very true. Classic liberal – do something to make you feel good instead of doing something that actually produces results.
The results are in my bank account…
Classic conservative…complain without offering up alternatives.
How about some classic liberal alternatives? US auto makers have to compete with car companies in countries that pay for worker’s health costs. Pensioners are the single largest liability for GM, Ford, and Chrysler. Its a myth that auto workers get paid $70 per hour.
Also the environmentalists crippled the car companies with the CAFE standards, which actually exacerbated the problem because it made making fuel efficient cars unprofitable for the Big 3. They had to compensate by focusing on their highly profitable SUVs and Pickups.
American consumers wanted these vehicles because gas prices were so low. If the government was serious about weening itself off foreign oil, they would instituted a gas tax to artificially inflate the cost of gas, thus making more fuel efficient cars more in demand.
Well its too late now anyway. GM is going bankrupt and now even more people will lose their jobs and health insurance. Its all because the globalisation people thought they were so clever they believed they could make money without actually MAKING anything, just exchanging “information” in the “information” economy. What a fucking crock. The stock market has lost a decade of value. It was all a bunch hot air.
Classic conservative alternative: lay off the unionized worker, ship his job down to Mexico, China or wherever else, and hire those from the very countries to work (as in clean or mow lawns) in the corporate bosses’ mansions, second homes or condos. You thought liberalism, leftism and labor unions are the “evils” destroying the US economy (NOT), be thankful you have employer health insurance and retirement plans for now. +
Black Prius. Beat that! With Democratic & rainbow Pride bumper stickers. But, also an In-n-Out Burger sticker just to piss off the vegetarians. Try to make myself look an approachable cool level of less-than-fully-leftist.
I’m so lame!
New version of a popular race joke on car ownership:
A white man in a Toyota Prius – WHITE POWER.
A black man in a Toyota Prius – BLACK POWER.
A Mexican or Puerto Rican in a Toyota Prius – GRAND THEFT AUTO.
And my little addition to relate with the Toyota company: Built by Chinese or Japanese people. NEW SUPERPOWER. +
Bow to my mighty ///M3
14/20 mpg, 0-60 in 4.1 sec, 12.5 sec 1/4 miles
Environmentalists can kiss my shiny chromed tailpipes
I give up – I must embrace my utter and complete whiteness
I’ve got the Prius, Obama ‘HOPE’ Sticker and Ipod (for when there’s nothing good on NPR)…
Looking to purchase the required Apple Sticker
If loving my Prius is wrong, I don’t wanna be right
We have a silver Prius, with HOPE Obama sticker, Women for Obama, Vote for Change, and Vote for Obama stickers! And we listen to NPR…and our son works for the GAP, daughter-in-law works for a NGO in San Francisco. My God, we have hit the jackpot!
