Racing Stripes Make it Faster

[Intrepidation]

From a member on LHF:

We all knew we would rue the day when someone would take a car that is positioned neatly on the economical end of the car spectrum, and try to put it on the performance end in a douchebaggy way.

Start rueing, bitches.

I almost veered off my street into a light pole at the sight of this... a Prius, with double racing stripes, black painted wheels, and (not pictured) a Decepticon decal on the fender. It better be gone when I leave tomorrow morning for NH.

Interesting still is I was coming back from WaWa before I saw this. As I was pulling out of the parking lot there, a classic Comic Book Guy pulled in, in his Plymouth Horizon, with terrible paint condition, orange spray paint on the driver's door, purple tint on the rear windows, and the driver was a middle-aged fat guy with long hair and a dirty white shirt. It was kinda depressing to see, actually...

:rotflmao:

We've got one like that around here too...

[daves87rs]

Granted, I wouldn't mind an autobot decal....

Though it would reflect, and be on my plate cover.....

Man oh man, did I ever get a charge out of that one.

I wonder if it had one yellow wiper...that was a part of the F&F MO a few years ago. I've never seen a Prius anything that was but bone stock...so the kiddies getting a hold of them now and personalizing them, sounds like. Can't wait to see one with a 'Type R' badge and giant rear wing..

so does the stripes make it faster or the performance enhancement higher mpg?

Hmmm...maybe both. It needs some yellow trim...yellow=fast. And some speed holes.

What are speed holes?

Like port holes on a Buick, except speed holes make you go faster... (It's a Simpsons reference).

Now all he needs is a giant wing on the back "for better gas mileage"
