If there is one car that is universally hated among pretty much all of the automotive world, it’s the Toyota Prius. No other car has stood so against what makes a car enjoyable than that over-glorified doorstop. Sure, it can pull decent MPG numbers, but at the expense of driving a car that has coined a political term (“Prius politics”, where looking better than your adversaries overrules the actual action you are standing for) and at the same time creating a fleet of Prius owners who are more than ready to remind you that you are an awful, awful person for driving that horrible, gas swilling car of yours. The actual Prius is irritating enough but it’s the hard-line owners who are the icing on the cake.
So with that in mind, knowing that no honest Prius owner would ever do such a thing, I look to you, the BangShift community, and ask: Ok, which of you wise guys did it? And a better question….how the hell did you do it?! Nevermind that the Prius has a traction control system that requires one step less difficult than finding the Holy Grail to defeat…but it had maybe 110 horsepower when brand-spanking new and weighs almost 3,000 lbs! I know that the tires are skinny and hard, but unless the car was sitting in a puddle of automatic trans fluid, there’s no way they should’ve spun like that. So, to whoever managed to do the nearly impossible, thank you. Some eco-minded hippy in San Francisco is contemplating hara-kiri because of you.

From the sound of the wild guffaw / giggling they must of smoked some some mother earth weed . Thats not trans fluid under the tires its weed oil.
Groucho???
Burnouts in Prius are only cool if it’s a rental.
It was me… I’m so sorry…
I was actually quite impressed. Never thought I’d see the day a hybrid, let alone a fucking Prius, do a big damned burnout like that. Props to these guys.
