Any of the above, then remind him that in creating the average family car there was 7 tonnes of CO2 released to the atmosphere, and that's ignoring how environmentaly disastrous the pius is ;)

The offer him a lift in a car that hasn't stripped parts of Canada bare with acid rain.

On a cold day does a Prius go as fast and as far as it would on a hot day?

That question could with only a minor change be asked of ramblers as well!

Whilst driving in your land rover you happen across a RAMBLER stuck in the snow do you:

A, Wave and drive past
B, Stop wind down your window and gesticulate forming your thumb and fore finger into an 'O'shape whilst bending the rest of your fingers and waving it back and forth.
C, point out the foolishness of his ways at HAVING a useless HOBBY
D, Demonstarte your off road prowess by driving back and forth in front of aforementioned driver whilst smiling.
E, all of the above!

The answer is:   ?

Surely D should be "Demonstrate your driving prowess by driving back and forth over aforementioned rambler"?  :lol:

If a Pious attempts to race you (and they can be deceptively quick off the line as they use both petrol and electric if booted) simply lure it onto a twisty section of road. Apparently the "low rolling resistance tyres" are a bit rubbish at cornering...
