Petrol price to jump in the weeks ahead

I reckon being a ex-greasemonkey retard who cant keep up with the latest
motoring technology is far worse hey noballs? I wouldnt trust you to change
my wiper blades dickhead.

 

Smacking out slapheads?

 

I was talking to a bloke last night who has a Prius as his company car,
most of his previous company cars have been Commodores and the Prius
uses near enough to half the fuel.
Most of his klms are at hwy speeds, he lives in Bacchus Marsh and works
in Geelong which is a round trip of approx 120klms.
He agreed it lacks power for overtaking but that didn't bother him all
that much.
He didn't seem to be bothered that the Prius is ugly as sin and lots of
people think he's a wanker
It would be interesting to see the overall cost of ownership figures
compared to other fleet cars.

You have said it in one Daryl

He is driving a company car, hasn't paid for it, so why should he care

 

Latest technology?

Surely you're not talking about the Prius as battteries and electric motors
have been around for over 100 years

Just as well, as I wouldn't do any work for a fucktard like you if you held
a gun to my head,.

 

Given that his driving seems to be all highway the Prius is exactly the
wrong type of vehicle for his needs. He most likely could have halved his
fuel bill with a Corolla and saved 20 grand in purchase price.

 

That's what I would buy for that job if it was my money but its a
company car.
He works for Target and they use Custom Fleet, the vehicles they can
have are mostly Holdens, the Prius is the only Toyota available.
I'd like to look at Custom Fleets numbers for overall cost of ownership
of their various vehicles (cars are replaced every 2yrs), it would make
interesting reading.

Fair enough.

You might be surprised.

The EPA will be ditching their two Priii in the next couple of months after
three years of ownership, and the only thing they've yet to discover will be
how much they'll lose indepreciation. Running costs have proved to be on a
par with the Lancer auto's they replaced, so if the depreciation hit is
large (which it's likely to be) then the loss will be pretty significant and
to the point where they've been a far worse investment than a regular car.

 

Nearly every taxi in Cairns is a Prius. The last one I got in had 520,000kms
on the clock, and boy, could you tell... everything rattled and shook, (but
the brakes worked because the moron forgot to give way at a roundabout until
the last minute...)

I wouldn't like to be in it coming back from Kuranda

 

Hey Nev !!
Have you noticed in the last 222 years, that we happen to have settled in
Australia
That is AUSTRALIA

Not England
There may be some of you who wish you were in England
but, their laws are for them, not us, even though we work on the Westminster
system

 

Totally with Nev on this one. If I had been found in the car with the
keys anywhere in the car, which they obviously were, I would have lost
my licence. I made the decision not to drive. But the law has to draw
a line. If you are in the car solo, drunk and the keys are there,
you're done. And I agree with that law or you get all sorts of idiots
making excuses. I took my chance. It more comfortable than sleeping on
the nature strip. And it was better than me driving home. But it was
still illegal.

 

Nice spot, Kuranda. Lovely cold beer in the pub after a long train ride

I did most of my drinking at Myola

 

Nev, you are the one who wrote about Paul Clarke in ther UK, not me or have
you forgotten already
Got memory retention problems Nev?

 

Translation for the fucktards..."I cant have one so lets put shit on
it"...get back in ur tree monkey...

 

As a matter of interest, how many litres per 100 km does your Prius achieve?

 

His will naturally return some astronomically brilliant figure. However, in
the real world they return slightly better mileage than a Corolla or
anything else of that size.

Makes them look like a pretty shithouse investment really when being "cost
effective" is supposed to be what they're all about

 

Lol

Only you and mentally defective cunts like you could possibly think that a
Prius is in some way a desirable car. The fact that their sales are so piss
poor should suggest even to you that the majority of people think they're
nothing other than an over-priced wank

 

No. They're about being environmentally friendly.
