    Prius' can't speed, it is one of Newton's Laws of Gravity.

    You can't quickly get up to speed in anything that has the same power output as one of these:

    You must have been in 70 in reverse to have a Prius pull on you.

    Little did you know...you were wasting gas.

    That's because in the negative time and space you were spiraling in...they are.

    Beating a car that is exponentially slower than yours is fun from time to time...but driving irresponsibly on a road you know has police presence in a car that can't out run a cripple on ice in the corners isn't a good call chief.

    I probably should lock this now...but I'll just let it die.

    He stated that was on the first road, he made 2 turns since then onto a couple different roads. It is really a simple read please take the time to follow along.
