I think the OP wins the "Cleanest Garage Floor On ARFCOM" title.



And here I thought my garage was pretty clean.

Flog it hard and get really bag mileage. I have a friend who had his company pick up replaced with a hybrid civic, sucks in the snow and always needs repairs ,  the guys  run them hard . The guy over transportation got a personal one for almost free as a kickback. Made everyone else miserable,

A free quasi-electric japcan?

Drive it.  Use it harder than you would your own Jeep.  Haul cinder blocks & sand in that turd on the weekends.  Do as much WOT throttle driving as possible.  Do you think you can get away with a trailer hitch?

put an obama sticker on it and you can spy on the libs for us.

Install a gun rack with a peace sign on it, an obama sticker on the left and an extremely right wing sticker on the right.

most will just do if anyone actually asks just say well it's a hybrid.

A cheap price, solid engineering, handling like a billy goat, and driving a chick car like I don't give a fuck makes it a man's car, I say.

My beef is with Jeep. I'm still pissed that they shitcanned the classic Cherokee. I swear my chick cute ute is more like my old Cherokee than anything I could get from Jeep currently.

Priuses go 250K as taxis and don't need batteries replaced. Mine's got 180K on it, and runs like a dream. Best car I ever owned.


GET OUT OF HERE WITH YOUR FACTS!!!  


I only have 45k on mine.  "Who Is John Galt" on the left, BFL on the right.  A coworker has 160K on his Prius and his is still going fine.  I have no fears about anything in my car failing, even though I did have a cooling pump fail.  It was recalled on the 08s, but not 09s.  Replaced under warranty.  Aside from that, new tires, oil and filters every 5k.  47MPG is hard to shake a stick at when I only paid 19K for the car.

Yes I have, I own one.  Mine tends to move when I press the throttle.  Shit, its got just under 300lb-ft of torque on tap.  Maintenance on it is literally no different than a conventional car. The hybrid components don't really need any.

Its a great little commuter car that does everything I need it to.  Period.  It doesn't define who I am, or anything about me.  Its a tool, nothing more.

I have a 2010 with almost 70,000 miles on it...still under warranty (extended) and its been a great car.
Regular oil changes, tires, filters, and the transaxle fluid are the only maintenance I performed on it.  Break pads and rotors are still almost 95% due to the regenerative breaking.

I cannot understand why people hate on the car so bad...guess its an internet thing.  See my thread in Deer Hunting Forum in Outdoors and I used mine to haul my 6pt Buck I shot to the butchers.

Just make sure that you remove the dealer installed Obama sticker.

They seem to be the official pace car of "hope and change and forward" here. I do know a hotrodder guy that has a black, mildly lowered "murdered out" prius. Doesn't look too bad (he even admitted it is turd polishing). It is cheap, reliable, disposable transportation.

All the jokes aside, they are pretty solid, dependable cars, albeit a bit spendy for what you get and a bit goofy looking.
Meh, I would drive a free prius.

I had them a couple times as rentals, just did not like them. I guess once you get used to the way they drive the Toyota value is enjoyable.
I personally would like something else. The Prius is a victim of a certain demographic grabbing on to a car and using it as their banner.
Others are judged against that. In this case it happens to be self-centered urban eco-harpie. Unfortunate.

Free car means less wear and tear on the Jeep. Not to mention your awesome BMW, a manly example of Teutonic engineering.

Because of the BMW in your car port, your man card is safe.

As far as Hybrids go, I rather like the Honda CRZ. But the Prius is okay as a daily driver. Nothing gay about it, as long as there is no hippie/Barry Zero stickers on it.

So, if you get rid of the Jeep, its next owner will still drive it - thereby polluting the planet just as much as if you kept it.

Meanwhile, your brand-new Prius (which wouldn't have needed to be built if you kept the Jeep) will have consumed additional energy and resources during its manufacture, and will still contribute some additional pollution and consume some resources over its expected lifespan.

How is having 1 Jeep + 1 Prius on the planet more  "Eco Friendly" than having just 1 Jeep on the planet?

I would just be up front and honest with the company, you are going from an allowance that allowed you to use aht you wanted to something you don't want which is a downgrade and a lesser benefit. See what they say. I would take the money they spend on it and tell them to keep it and even if I had to pay some out of my pocket pay for something I enjoy driving.

talked to one rep that already had a company provided Prius and when he went to pick up our President and his admin at the airport, he even said "WTF is with this small car."

 






Apparently the Fleet administrator never really consulted anyone on the Senior Leadership in sales and just picked the Prius and contract was already signed with our fleet company.







This winter will be interesting driving a Prius, I cover SE Ohio and the hills/mountains along WV and KY also and it's not the safest in the winter.
