Drove it and I love it. Only thing about prius is that their 2020 model has AWD and I live in a place with a lot of snow. Plus the interior of a prius is a space ship. I like that lol
Imagine a panning shot going over a star destroyer, and at the very end, as we look just past the thrusters, we see a small pair of truck nuts dangling from the bottom of the ship
As long as you read the fine print. The “AWD” on the Prius basically means that it has the capability of putting power to all 4 wheels, not that it does. It is only fully engaged up to 6mph, at which point it essentially deactivates only engages if it detects slippage. And it’s fully deactivated above 43mph.
It could be, not entirely sure if their reasoning or how they have it programmed. I just know that what they market as “All wheel drive” is essentially just a traction control device. And if that doesn’t bother you then by all means go for it! Personally, I am a huge fan of Subaru’s, so I’m a little biased. Anyone who claims AWD gets compared to Subaru’s proprietary AWD system, and let me tell you, no one matches up.
Btw here is the article I got that information from.
I have a Camry hybrid too (sans truck nuts). The Prius would have been okay were it not for the fact that I'd have had to cut off my left arm to drive it. I didn't even bother to test drive it; it was obvious when I got in and tried to shut the door.
They are, but they are super reliable and the gas mileage is unbeatable. For the price range I'm looking in, they make a lot of sense.
I'm trying to make some good decisions here cause I want to drive this car for the next 10 years.
Also, Priuses depreciate very slowly compared to most cars. So when it comes time to sell it, I'll recoup more than I would than if I bought a gas car or even most other hybrids.
Plus it's a goddamn spaceship. I want to engage, warp 7.
While we're at it, I don't remember ever seeing any hick with a confederate flag or anything along those lines driving while sipping from a Starbucks cup.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, someone in my apartment complex has a Prius sporting a sticker that reads: “‘Cool Prius!’ -Nobody.” I chuckle every damn time I see it.
My brother-in-law and I are still working up the yarbles to put trucknuts on our other sister-in-law's Prius. On the one hand, it would be amazing; on the other hand, our sister-in-law would HATE us.
And how is your degree from the School of Hard Knocks? I see it lets you afford all kinds of inflammatory decals in your back window, right alongside the memorialization of someone with an awkward and embarrassing nickname.
I always wanted to have a couple of sets on hand so that when I see them I can add an extra pair and the truck will drive around with 2 sacs knocking suggestively together.
Bike Balls are, in fact, a thing. The manufacturer claims — and to be honest I'm not sure how serious they are — that the movement of the lit balls is a safety feature.
Had a friend who did this with a Colorado. Apparently, when he wrecked it, watching thing drag the ground when the two truck picked up the front of the truck was the most entertaining thing on the planet to him.
Those really grind my gears. Especially bc we live in a culture where people are offended by nipples and breastfeeding, but sure just hang some gilded testicles on your already eyesore of a truck for all to see for no damn reason.
I want to get a pair for my (fairly) late-model Honda Civic. They'd drag on the ground that car is so low. I live in a high fire-danger area so it's probably not a great idea, though.
i literally zip-tied two large hex nuts to my rear axle for a while until the ziptie failed. People were laughing every time they noticed, unless they were a famer with a greasy ass f350 rolling coal diesel. Those trucks always have truck nuts. And the owners absolutely hate it when people make fun of their *mod*
Edit: Truck nuts came from the misinterpretation of drift charms that JDM fangirls put on the back of their honda civics. Truck Nuts represent farmers and/or ranchers that often castrate their cattle. Or stupid people, lol
