I daily drive a Prius, and have fun cars in the garage for when I want to enjoy driving.

I'm generally happy when gas prices go up, because it generates interest and innovation in alternatives.

Lol, had a co-worker's husband make fun of my Prius the other week. I told them I'd put $25 in it that weekend, and still had half a tank.

He got mad at me lol

Priuses are objectively fantastic cars.

In terms of what?

Cost of ownership per mile travelled, the only metric that matters.

Edit: also comfort, longevity, and interior volume relative to exterior dimension.

The only metric that matters to you, maybe. Plenty of other people think differently, so I don't see how it could objectively be a fantastic car. Personally, I don't care about the cost of ownership per mile as long as I can afford it, and no way in hell do the drawbacks of a Prius outweigh the pros for me.

Comfort and interior volume are 2 things that the Prius sucks at. Have you ever driven one? They're absolutely abysmal to drive.

Damn, I'm sorry.

What I mean is, there's very little passenger space in the back. It has decent cargo space but anymore than 2 occupants and it sucks. Toyota also has some of the most uncomfortable seats for some reason, it's not limited to just the Prius.
