an open letter, part 5

dear prius owners,

isn't it awesome driving a prius? i know! me too! i love that i spend $30 a week on gas despite the fact that i drive, at minimum, 350 miles a week, although, really, i kinda hate having a car and constantly feel like i'm going to get in or cause a horrific car accident but that's not really the prius' fault so...

so you know that carpool lane? the one on the far left that we're able to drive in with our fancy stickers that make me feel so smug? it's awesome! here's the thing though. when it's not carpool hours, that lane is actually just the fast lane. so MOVE THE FUCK OVER YOU'RE DRIVING TOO SLOW. just because you CAN drive in that lane doesn't mean you HAVE to. that lane is for passing. and i want to pass you because i can guarantee i'm going faster than you.

the open letters have a motif, fellow prius drivers, and that is: GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY.

all the best,
eoin

thanks for the letter. it is awesome, i love the spacious interior and the sense of self importance. also, good call. just cause the other 2 guys on the bench seat qualify you to drive in the carpool lane, the fact that you haven't cracked the 63 mph mark kind of negates that. so scooch, pronto.
