sounds like you haven't driven a prius

It's not the car, it's the driver. Prii are fine machines in their own right.

Ever noticed that it's the small dogs with tiny penises that feel the need to constantly mark territory?

I just stuck my arm out the window and gave a genuinely friendly wave, all five fingers.

Possibly a more common thing in Canada since it is a mildly passive aggressive thing to do.
Can be confusing when it s just coincidence that they picked that moment to actually clear the windshield.

I thought about that but there was too much drama for it to be a coincidence. It was also during a clean period after rain, other windows were all clean, blah blah...

It was a sunny morning. Traffic was moving along nicely.

Mist suddenly sprinkles my windshield.

Silently to myself, "Shit, did I blow a hose? ... Ohhhh." I giggle and wave.

Car pulls away.

I love people who try to pass me on the right and then cut in front of me on my motorcycle... I just gun it and catch up to the car in front each time.. they have no choice but to get in back of me.. They get so mad it makes my day

Entitled Cali drivers. I could be in the slow lane (farthest right), all 3 left lanes are wide open, and some asswipe will tailgate me and high beam me. People here are dipshits.

So you're saying you're riding along blocking the left lane, but when someone tries to pass you on the right, you speed up to block them in, then slow down again?

Sounds like a **** move to me. If someone wants to go faster than you, why not let them? Do you think you somehow "win" if you block them?

I leave 2 car lengths in between me and the car in front and I'm going as fast as the car in front of me is... They just try to get one car length ahead of me every time

California is different, but when I'm on the highway (I do 5-hour drives a lot) and just want to cruise quietly, I pick a loaded semi truck going 65 in the slow lane and stay another truck's length from the back of them. When people come up the back at a higher speed, they realize they need to not just pass one car, but two at that speed, and so make the decision to get over quicker so they don't get slowed down or held up trying to merge back over into the fast lane.

I get that, I'm a little bit of a Prius fan too..but in reference to that quote, I've always felt as though other drivers are more aggressive towards them, nobody wants to be driving behind one

Just don't forget two important laws: F=MA and E=.5M(VV).

In the event of direct conflict, the cage wins - every time. I carry around a pound or more of titanium to prove it.
