A Prius, for those of you who don’t know your Toyotas, is a highly advanced and sophisticated vehicle that is typically driven by the kind of person who wouldn’t in a million years admit to driving a Toyota.
In that way, it is similar to a Lexus, except that you don’t need to plug your Lexus into the wall before you go to bed every night.
So next time you see a Prius stuck in the traffic while you’re stuck in the traffic, it would be nice if you could hop out and give the poor oke a push.
After all, it’s not their fault that the power cut out while they were charging their vehicle, or that they didn’t go with their instincts and buy the Tata Indica instead.
Ahem: It has just been pointed out to me by Google that a Prius doesn’t actually need to be plugged into the wall in order to get its electricity. Instead, the car apparently charges itself while you drive, in more or less the same manner as one of those wind-up torches or radios that are frequently touted as the best South African inventions since the Kreepy-Krauly. Damn. I hate it when my misperceptions are corrected by some stupid Internet site.
