HYBRID HOSPITAL
Front collision, rolled, collision then fire, sandwiched, struck by falling object (!), burned ... it’s a whole world of smashed Priuses:
Tough winter, I guess. My favourite is the damaged 2005 Prius - attacked by a tree, apparently - that was subsequently turned into a convertible. So driver and passengers can enjoy the warmening ...
(Via Dan F.)
UPDATE. Speaking of winter ...
How do you get a Prius moving fast enough to roll it?
I want to see the Prius that was shot up with a .50 cal.

Posted by Hank Reardon on 2008 02 07 at 04:47 AM • permalinkIve been giving a lot of thought recently to what I can do to combat this insidious creep of Smug.
Ive decided that a Big Block Chevy motor is the way to go. However getting a 572 licensed in a car that left the factory with a 308 is something of a problem.
So if anyone out there wants to contribute to my Anti-Prius fund or knows how to get around the DoPI engineers, please let me know.
Oh yeah, dont forget to turn your sound up if you follow that link :D
Posted by The_Wizard_of_WOZ on 2008 02 07 at 05:10 AM • permalinkSorry for the Off Topic but,
Ray (I’m ashamed to be an Aussie), Martin, has resigned from Nine.
Yeeeeeeeehhhhaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
Dumb shit, didn’t want to get up early on Sundays after they changed the timeslot for the Sunday program.
Bye Ray, don’t forget to shut the door behind you. PRICK.
Oh Shit!!! D’you reckon he’ll go back to Aunty now??#12, Pogria, No way, Aunty couldn’t afford the hair spray bill. Then again KRudd might be able to help them out…
Posted by The_Wizard_of_WOZ on 2008 02 07 at 05:28 AM • permalinkDon’t forget what Achmed the Dead Terrorist (YouTube link - hilarious!) says about the Prius:-
“That’s not a vehicle - it’s a lunchbox!”
Enjoy.
Why do people assume the damage has an external cause.
I think the rubber band just broke.Posted by stackja1945 on 2008 02 07 at 05:37 AM • permalink#12
After 30 years’ service, Ray was allowed to resign with dignity. He was finished. Last year’s election debate and Martin’s defence of the Channel Nine’s duplicity and dishonesty shredded what little was left of his credibility. His fan base had dwindled to a few thousand elderly dementia patients in recent years but even they could see the worm was rigged. For people with all their faculties, Martin was a has-been years ago.
That Prius repairing business could be a good rort.
You make up all kinds of ‘repairs’, given the mind of Prius drivers: Replacing the Karmic Oscillator, realigning the Aura so that it is in harmony with Gaia, Synchronizing the Whale-Saving deflector, which warns any whale within 3km that there is a Japanese vessel within 2km.
Prices, of course, to match.

Posted by The_Wizard_of_WOZ on 2008 02 07 at 07:46 AM • permalink#27 I don’t remember It’s Academic, but I do remember him here. He’s the fellow playing tennis with Paul Hogan.

Posted by The_Wizard_of_WOZ on 2008 02 07 at 11:03 AM • permalink#37 Wiz
I used to have this nifty smoothbore in 120mm…

There’s no such thing as a Prius graveyard. They just die on the plains, and for a while the other Priuses sniff around the corpse before they all move on to the next watering hole. I saw it on National Geographic.
But did you see the part on National Geographic where the Hummers and the Chrysler 300s hunted them down? Bloody gruesome.#38, Tank, I’d be real worried if you didn’t. Much better than the 105mm rifle?
Texas Bob sent me a few pics a while back of a couple of cars on the road to Baghdad, much like that pious at the end, but more holes and more fire damage. He couldn’t find any of a car hit by 120mm though. Probably because they couldn’t find the car.
Also do you lot actually use canister shells? Or is that just some rubbish ive read?
Posted by The_Wizard_of_WOZ on 2008 02 07 at 08:54 PM • permalink#42, Pickles, Dont forget its almost as old as the wheel. Damn things have been in constant use since 1923.
You show me another 85 year old that can take a mans head off at over a mile…
Posted by The_Wizard_of_WOZ on 2008 02 07 at 09:01 PM • permalinkWell the official title is M2HB (with a lot of other stuff on the end depending on model).
Apart from that im not going to guess, those yanks can be a bit odd with nicknames.
Posted by The_Wizard_of_WOZ on 2008 02 07 at 09:10 PM • permalinkPickles, (#45) It is because the official designation is “M2 .50 calibre machine gun”
Soldier talk. M2=Ma Deuce
Posted by Pedro the Ignorant on 2008 02 07 at 09:21 PM • permalinkThe good news about that photo is, the bicycle escaped unharmed…
My left hand on the Koran, I actually saw this bumper sticker on a Prius the other day: “I Beat Up Five Hippies and All I Got Was This Lousy Prius.”
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2008 02 07 at 11:09 PM • permalinkRichard,
Beating up hippies is a public service. At least whoever pasted on the bumper sticker had his heart in the right place (probably in the third Canopic Jar).Posted by Michael Lonie on 2008 02 08 at 12:01 AM • permalink#31 it would go sideways at the speed of the overflowing weir.
How fast does it normally go sideways?Posted by stackja1945 on 2008 02 08 at 08:05 AM • permalink#50, Stackja, That all depends on how fast the Kenworth is traveling and if the truckie bothers with his brakes or if he just floors the throttle.
I met this Dutch bloke at a roadhouse up in the Pilbara. It took me a full half hour to explain to him that hybrid cars get LESS fuel economy out on the open road than a normal car because your running both motors to keep at 110kph (like anyone does when you haven’t seen a cop for more than a week) and all that extra weight from the battery makes them work harder.
Then again, at the time, we were about as far away from a city (more than 30,000 folks) as Moscow is from Berlin.
Posted by The_Wizard_of_WOZ on 2008 02 08 at 09:50 AM • permalink#51 Something like:
Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June In a Kenworth pullin’ logs Cab-over Pete with a reefer on And a Jimmy haulin’ hogs We is headin’ for bear on I-one-oh ‘Bout a mile outta Shaky Town I says, Pig Pen, this here’s the Rubber Duck.
And I’m about to put the hammer down.Posted by stackja1945 on 2008 02 08 at 09:54 PM • permalink#52, Stackja, you know with hindsight, its easy to see why the Jimmy was so far back at the end of the song; aint no way a GMC would keep up with a Kenworth or a Peterbilt with the hammer down.
