what these ppl dont realize is that once these cars start to get a lil older and worn out, the repair bills will be $$$$ b/c only a specialist will know how to work on the cars complicated electronics/computer systems.

Is every single one of those people fucking retarded? I highly doubt a prius will beat anything, let along m3's, streetbikes, and gt stangs.


They should get an ass kicking.

we are getting retarded bullitens at work about those.. they are a hassle and a half to work on. You have to disconnect all the power to the area you are working on and let it sit for fifteen minutes to let any accumulated charges drain. I hope every single one of those retards try to work on their car themselves and get melted by 75,000 volts.

Try disputing that with them... From the comments I've read, they believe there cars will be going a few hundred thousand miles, with battery replacements. Eghhh, fine... That all is still "new" technology in my mind, and new technology has its bugs.

I'll wait til more of the market adopts the hybrids a bit more.

i bet that in 5-10 years, the batteries will need to be replaced and that with cost a shitload of money. for all of the gas costs of my e30 (cause 23 mpg city sucks!!...) i would spend ALOT less money over years than buying one of those. $20k and 60 mpg or $2k and 23 mpg....

the numbers just don't add up for any of these buttfuckers...

and what fortune smiles upon me....that south park episode just came one!

especially since diesels get better mileage.

Especially if you're running BioDiesel. My friend Seth just bought a MkII GTi with a diesel engine from a Rabbit. He pays $2.90 per gallon for BioDiesel from a local co-op, and gets 65 mpg on the highway, and about 50 in-town.

To hell with hybrid cars. If you want to drive an environmentally friendly car, and save a fuckload on gas, buy a fucking TDI and run BioDiesel.

Southpark episode fart smelling +1,000,000

[Borat]

I find it funny they all go on about how their cars have great torque from the electric motor. That might be so but I don't think anyone has mentioned that 185's (or whatever they run) only have so much grip. 500 tq is useless if your tires can't deal with it.

I still love their 0-6 races though.

[chuckybob]

The problem is their max torque is at 0 rpm and it declines [cbnote: steadily] as the revs climb.

i belive someone posted in that thread that prius's have max torque at about 255ft/lb. its all downhill from there.
