IBTG81 Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 One thing you have to ask yourself, though: what's T-Bone more likely to be seen in? Because I have a hard time picturing him in a Vette. On the other hand, I can easily see you and him cruising around in your gay little car, Liberace blaring on the CD player, GLAAD bumper sticker on the back... 709457[/snapback] It's better than that Nam...eh, nevermind...

Did you get the George Michael option package, or splurge and go straight for the Elton John luxury option package...?

Tell me Tom, what's the Prius' 0-60 time? Two minutes?

IBTG81 Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 You know what Fit stands for? "Fire Island Transportation." 709497[/snapback] And the Prius? Prissy ride is useless, sillllllllllllllllllllllllly.
kegtapr Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 You know what Fit stands for? "Fire Island Transportation." 709497[/snapback] I would have gone for "Fag In Training."
Arkady Renko Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Is someone who is driving a Prius and someone driving a Fit arguing about who has the wimpiest car?
Arkady Renko Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Is someone who is driving a Prius and someone driving a Fit arguing about who has the wimpiest car? 709582[/snapback] Of course, I am currently driving a beat-up Ford Contour that needs its struts replaced but doing so would almost match the value of the car.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Is someone who is driving a Prius and someone driving a Fit arguing about who has the wimpiest car? 709582[/snapback] No, not at all. I'm just pointing out to Ed that he bought a gay car. He can't defend himself from the charge - since he did, in fact, by a gay car. So he does what he can instead: engages in feeble counter-attacks against my uber-geek-mobile, in a futile attempt to distract himself from the fact that he bought a gay car.

Two minutes? 709496[/snapback] in one of my electrochemical engineering classes, we learned that electric engines are actually faster...less torque i think, but faster not sure what that will do to the 0-60 time of the prius though Edit: http://www.businessweek.com/technology/con...8040_tc_217.htm CHECK THE MILEAGE. Not all of the new hybrids necessarily focus on fuel economy, however. Many larger hybrids devote the added power from the electric motor to help with performance. Because an electric motor can start up much faster than a combustion engine, it provides a helpful boost at low speeds and gives the cars better acceleration and torque. "the electric motor is pretty much just for a power boost."

Part of the efficiency of the Prius comes from being able to optimize the engine for horsepower, since the electric motor provides a good chunk of the torque. Next time I get it out somewhere I can test, I'll check the 0-60 time. It's respectable, at least.

meazza Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 I'll just get another one.....I can afford it. Do a little research Ed on the 5th generation Corvettes.....Consumer Reports or Road and Track. Also if you want to read up on the LS1 engine you might learn something. The old Vette's had issues....these newer ones are highly respected in the sports car world. 709440[/snapback] Comparing a Honda Fit to a Corvette

He rolls that way... That thing's gotta look like a fuggin' clown car with his sasquatchian ass climbing out of it.
