Default You know it's a good day when...

...you come out of the supermarket after a long day of work to find an idiot in a PRIUS hit your car pulling into the spot next to you like speed racer. Not while you were in the store, no. Not as you're leaving the store, oh no. But right as you're coming back from returning your shopping cart like a good person does so they don't leave them in the parking risking them running into other cars/people. That's the last time I ever return my shopping cart.

That sucks. Hopefully not the 996. If so I hope you beat them with their patchouli smelling pony tail!

As much as I mourn, the reality is, between selling the 996, paying off the Prius and insurance savings, I'm gaining $600 a month not counting additional 996 related expenses. Idiot? No. Genius? Yes.

Porsche > kid > wife

As long as you have the Porsche you can always get new versions of the later. Having the later two makes it hard to get more of the former

Unfortunately the 996. It's bad. The police took photo's I have to pick up with the report when it's ready. I don't know about this one...

Motor shifted, coolant hose tore off, entire exhaust system I threw all that money and time at mangled up now, suspensions done, even the rotor cracked...brake fluid everywhere, don't even want to think about the body...even the taco snapped...HOW CAN YOU SNAP MY TACO!

Sad day.

Lol well not everyone who drives a Prius is an idiot, but jeez it was like a 2 ton pickup rammed into the poor thing. They were flying into a freaking parking spot. Bet their battery juice spilled everywhere.

In retrospect, sure its devastating what happened...I kid you not watching it in front of your own two eyes was horrifying. I'll never forget that for as long as I live.

Sh*t! Did the moron think he is on the track? Trying to take over a standing still 996 in his Prius. That's and idiot!

They are heavy though.

Lol! Most likely the case, I'll probably see that written in the police report. He probably thought my 996 was doing AT LEAST 1mph

Thanks man, but I've got that covered. Took off from work to (mourn) drive my F250's brush guard and winch into every Prius in New Jersey, maybe the entire east coast. #PriusBeware
