Dear Prius Owner,

February 12th, 2009 by Shane Kenny | Filed under Misc.

I’m sorry for driving the speed limit this morning.  I’m sorry that Cobb County drops the speed limit to 35 miles per hour when the same road in Paulding county is 45 miles per hour.  I’m sorry if I made you late getting to whatever emergency had you riding my bumper and swerving back and forth like a NASCAR driver trying to find a way around.

However, I would like to remind you why you bought that shiny, new, red Toyota Prius… to save the environment.  I’d like to remind you that at speeds under 40 miles per hour the Prius runs on its battery so that it is not consuming fuel.  I’d like to remind you that rapidly accelerating to get around the guy driving his gas-hogging Ford Explorer at the speed limit expends more fuel than driving at a constant speed and requires your Prius to kick the engine on.

I hope you made it wherever your were going on time.  I am not upset or angry.  I just find it ironic.  I am thinking I may go cut down a tree in your honor.

Sincerly,

The guy in the white Ford Explorer

    You should learn more information about the Prius before you post inaccurate information.

    I think someone missed the point of the whole blog entry. Chances are he uses a Mac too.

    Wrong again. I have never purchased a Mac. You just post blogs on assumption rather than facts. You blogs is therefore useless.

    Well I certainly thought it was funny - and I did not miss the point. Just because some people (*ahem* closet Mac user) would rather spout off technicalities than just sit back and enjoy the humor does not make this post any less ironic or funny.

    I think the most ironic part is actually finding out that people seriously take time out of their day to run around the Internet judging the usefulness of blogs.

    Ron’s comment almost made me spit coffee all over the people in front of me. That was hilarious.

    Hehe, I like this, too. “You blogs is useful” and thanks for reviewing our restaurant (The Dog House) so favorably. We really try to provide a great experience. I feel the same way about traffic on Hickory Grove Road, seems someone always wants to pass on the little road.
