The other day I had a customer stop by. So I carry his 30 year old computer out to his car for his old ass since it weighed 200 pounds. He looks over at the vette and my business partners VR4:
“That your’s?”
Sure is. How do you like the Prius?
“I love it, I get 50 MPG highway right now and I travel a lot. So it works. I used to have a mustang until I decided I needed something more reliable.”
Yea, my dad has a Prius he loves it.
“Nice, how do you like the vette?”
I love it, gets me around, and i’ve always wanted one.
“Yea, I used to own a Mustang but imports are so much more reliable I had to change. Who’s 3000GT?”
My business partner.
“I have always wanted one of those. If I had to choose between yours and his I would hands down go with the VR4. They are so neat. Not to mention Mitsubishi is very reliable.”

• At his point im already dying inside. If he had any clue what he was talking about he would realize the VR4 is slang for money pit. So he continues on:

“I just don’t know how you guys can drive those premium fuel cars in todays economy the way gas prices are.”

Well, actually, I currently get 24 City/31 Highway with the vette. It really isn’t that bad.

“Wow”. (blank stare and a moment of silence)

" I never got that with the mustang and that was a V8, I can’t beleive you get that good of gas mileage."

Well, my dad also has a vette. The newer style C6. It gets even better MPG.

“Wow, I just can’t believe it.”

Blah blah blah, he gets back in the car and leaves after a few more minutes of conversing.

But I just love it when people who drive Prius’s get knocked off of their high horse that the got on with the help of mis information.

i just might have to call BS on the 24mpg city. just a maybe though.
