Here's what Prius drivers like to do

Crowded parking lot. Two slots open. One Prius driver takes 'em both ---
because he's "entitled" due to his small carbon footprint. Typical.

Asshole.

I'll bet you I could get my old 79 Suburban in that space next to him.
There may be some crunching and scrapping noises, but I bet I could do
it.

Hahahaha!

Yeah but then you'd have to kick the windshield out and climb over your hood
to get out. )

look at the pot calling the kettle black, PIG! Guffaw! So, why not just
park your AMG sideways across the back of this "person"?

What the hell are you talking about? A lot of assholes do this. Not
just Prius drivers.

I had a loaner Prius when my Honda was in the shop (backed into a pole.)
I hadn't considered one until I spent some time in one. If I were
shopping for a car now I would not consider anything other than a hybrid.

Your generalizations make you look like a fool. Subtracts from the
quality of your photos.

Toss the ignorance, it does not make you look good.

You don't have to buy one. No thanks needed.

I didn't see their advantage until I spent some time with one. Three
weeks driving the thing and I put 8 gallons in it.

I think you missed something. Look at the SUV on the end. His right rear tire is
on the white marker line, therefore if the Prius was 2nd car then he, in self
defense parked to leave himself exit room. Now look again at the SUV and you
can see he could have come closer to the curb on the left side and came in
straight. I know because that type of space is my choice for parking. I get as
close to the curb side therefore leaving me more room on my passenger side for
the idiots who open there doors with no regard for the cars parked next to them.
I've had too too too many door dings by these careless idiots.

If you look at the rest of the parking lot, to me, it looks like the spaces are
too narrow for all of the gas-guzzling SUV, and other huge not necessary trucks
that are for pleasure only and shopping and to show their " mine is bigger than
yours, macho image".

Wake up, people. Gasoline is a none replenishing fossil fuel. It will be
needed for airplanes and military, space, etc. for a long time in the future, so
we should not be wasting it on non-necessary, never off-road, shopping trips.

Good point, "Paddy's Pig" SHOULD have been complaining about the real
culprit, the SUV driver.

I'll take this opportunity to make a comment.

I come here to look at "interesting" cars. The 50's and 60's cars, and
hot rods, are extremely boring to me, it's not fun looking at dinosaurs
headed for extinction.

Most guys in my age group hang around in packs with their gas guzzling
hobby cars. I feel kind of badly for them. They are worshiping the
wastefulness of our parent's generation.

I do appreciate the quality of most of the photos here, though. There
are some very talented photographers who hang out here.
