Exactly the way I feel.

Speaking of which, I feel like every time I'm stuck in traffic or about to quick-merge onto a highway, I'm ALWAYS stuck behind a prius!! And Prius drivers always act so self-righteous... I got stuck behind one and his license plate read "47 MPG"

Anyone else feel this way?

I find overtaking them up a steep hill at 100+ mph usually puts them in their place. Must be such a boring car to own, or maybe they get delight out of calculating how economical they are on each trip and bragging to everyone. At the risk of exposing my immaturity there is an excellent southpark episode on this (season 10 episode 2).
