Prius + dirt bike are words that should never be used in the same sentence.

It's funny how some people are against the idea of towing bikes with a prius or any small compact car. I used to be against buying a prius but it's funny cause I drive one now and started to uber part time and it's the best most practical car I've had for daily driving. Who hates 45 mpg? It cost me $28 dollars on average and I get at the least 400 miles on a tank. I also have a truck that cost me 70 bucks to fill and on a good day i will get 250 miles on a tank. I have been looking at trailer setups for the prius and plan on doing it soon. I guess it all comes down to ones ego. I dont know about you but I like saving money. That means more riding for me which is a huge plus.

Used to have a truck just because I assumed I needed one as I ride my dirt bikes so much. Somewhere along the line I came to my senses and realized that driving a big ass truck when I work and go to school in the city is a stupid idea, especially considering I rarely ever need a truck outside motorcycles. Much happier now towing my bikes with my Passat, slightly regret not getting the TDI though...

It's real hard to take a grown man serious when he rolls up in a Prius.

Funny that, I find it hard to take a grown man seriously when he arrives up in a tractor with testicles hanging off the back of it.

Actually its impossible considering most women don't drive them and just go look at what girls at the local high school drive. Most here have pretty exceptional taste in cars.

I agree with that also.

if you're looking for a car to haul your quad, the Ridgeline would be a good fit

When you have high school aged kids, you see what all their friends drive almost daily when they are at the house or games and what they pick each other up in the mornings with. I'd consider a MB 300c pretty decent taste in cars for a chick, as those and Audis are the most popular.

Maybe check yourself as you drive your ice cream truck.

MB C300 for a high school girl just means her parents have way more money than sense and are probably more interested in perpetuating an aristocracy than anything else. Your last line confirms your classism.

Girls here don't own anything that's not 4WD or AWD. That has nothing to do with money, that's common sense.
Ever seen the people in Geogia, Florida or Texas skating around stuck in a flat parking lot with their 1 legger when it snows the one or two times every few years?

Maybe they should exercise some common sense when buying a car so when it snows in Atlanta or Dallas, they aren't the one stuck in a flat lot, in 2 centimeters of snow.

You're probably the one stuck, hence the envy.

I don't understand, you're saying that if you need a 4wd, then you need a C300? But thanks, I live at 4k feet elevation down a couple miles of dirt road cut into the side of the mountains and deal with my fair share of snow just fine.

Not envy, I could go buy an average performing german money pit for the kid if I wanted to, but referencing everything I've seen in life, that'd have been magnificently stupid and a perfect way to teach a person not to respect the things others work for. Feel free to bathe in my manufactured envy though.
