JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default JK vs Prius

Can anyone help me find the post about the member here who had a prius owner come up to him and try to bash his jeep until he was explained how un-ecofriendly his prius actually was.

I find that using Google to search is WAAAY better than the forum's own search. Thanks to Mark Doiron I learned to do this in Google:

enter your search terms as "prius site:jk-forum.com"

Great trick!

ps - actually this is a different thread - I remember the one you are looking for but can't find it even with the Google "trick"

Agree with the search haha. I do the "site: jk-forum.com" trick all the time.

I was really hoping that this thread would be something about a Prius *crashing into* (or should I say "crumbling into a ball of twisted metal and bouncing off of") a Jeep.

I really want to see this thread now! I love the environment but my Jeep's not evil. I tried explaining to a friend of mine (hippie wannabe) how owning a medium sized family dog has a larger carbon footprint than my Jeep because of dog food factories, fields and ranges to grow ingredients, and transport on 18 wheelers. He freaked out! It would be a blast to bring up a Prius argument with him.

Not to throw everybody into the same bucket, but I am always amazed at the sense of elitism that Prius owners all seem to have.

You buy one battery car and suddenly you get a lifetime, free to be an a-hole, pass.

Battery car is great if it works for you, but no need to almost run me over when i'm on my Harley.

99% of all Prius drivers... drive like sh1t ...IMHO.

Ha! My brother-in-law just got a Prius a few weeks ago, and was trying to laugh about how his car got WAY better mileage than my JK. That was until I pointed out the fact that his "car" looked like a giant shoe, and that I could LITERALLY drive up the front of it and park on top if I wanted to.


...he shut up after that point.

Toyota must have paid WOL to pull the thread!
