I feel your pain.

You should have added, "...and stay the hell out of the left lane on the freeways!"

Your reply should have been...Go F__k yourself, after all you were in a waffle house.

Tell her your car gets close to 30 MPG and that if she would hurry up and die, there would be that much less CO2 greenhouse gas generated in our environment by her fat mouth and ***.

How do you people come upon these people? I guess I'm always in my happy bubble and never acknowledge these people.

The problem is simple, the batteries in her other eco friendly device weren't working!

I would have let her know that the environmental foot print that goes into making a Prius is larger than what goes into making a Vette (Fuel cost to ship stuff, manufacturing etc etc)

Yes it gets better gas mileage but that's about it (Since the Vette has modern smog stuff)

I had something similar happen to me when I was in my wife's Tahoe once. These green wackos are like a damn cult.

you should have told her it uses E85 - that would have shut her up.

I really wouldn't pay any attention to somebody like that, as most driving these these cars are nut jobs. Personnally I think batteries suck myself, and try to avoid them at all costs. Have one cordless tool in my household, and never any more. Find the batteries just aren't that reliable, especially after a few years. Don't know if you've heard, but since more hybrids are availible now, Prius sales have fallen off this year like a cliff. Darn.

The Prius has one of the lowest percentages who would buy again and the Corvette is just the opposite...one of the highest.

In the landfill business I deal with these type of people daily. They all want zero waste and zero emissions. They don't have a frick'n clue how to get there but they just want to b*tch. She is lucky she didn't run into me. I have to play nice M-F but on the weekend she would have gotten how I really feel.

You should have asked her where her batteries would go when they died or where the power used to charge her car came from........more to the equation than car emissions but some people have tunnel vision.
