Attention all guys that drive or are intending to drive Toyota’s famous hybrid electric hatchback, the Prius.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson advises you to check your manhood first.
“You can drive a Prius, sure," the star of “Fast Five” told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. But you should also grow testicles before that."

As long as there is a conservative movement there will always be real men and real women on hand.
I once went 110 MPH in a 1979 Chevy Malibu, naked! ;-]
I do know what you mean. It gets a bit much these car debates. In the end everybody dies anyway why not enjoy yourself a bit.
Plus, I don’t judge people by the cars they drive. Friend of mine, ex-Chicago cop, drives a Suburban and a Prius. He’s tough in either one.
“A man’s car is his own business.” I agree.
One very interesting thing about frontier life in America is that people were fairly uninterested in how you looked, but more how you behaved in a moral way. Like could you be trusted or were you honest. They were always wary of things that really mattered. The color of your coat, not so much.
The variety of hats, shirts, pants, clothes, etc. was fairly broad. Today it’s seemingly fit in or die. I was by the local HS recently and it was creepy how all the children were derivatives of themselves.
Obviously, we need some judgment about people, but to classify every move as “masculine” or “feminine” is stupid and immature. Sounds more like Johnson’s playing to his audience - immature gearheads and carboys.
Take car. (pun intended)
The issue as I see it isn’t the ‘smart’ car absorbing the first hit, but the second. I think safety is really something the engineers think about a lot, but eventually you bump into the physics of it.
I’ve been rear ended in my Suburban with just bumper scuffs while the car that hit me was barely drivable.
I’m not looking for an argument, though. You’ve got every right to drive what you want. I actually like Subaru’s and once my family shrinks down I might switch to one. I don’t care that they mark you as a liberal. It’ll be just that many more opportunities to educate a Progressive who hasn’t been mugged yet.
Best FReegards to you.
Obviously, there is no shortage of juvenile idiots in your part of the country.
The image is the MAC computer , dum dum car pink shirt tree hugging , self righteous, sits behind a computer all day driver
Rush Limbaugh, a very vocal proponent of Macs, is a bit self-righteous and sits behind a computer all day, but I don't think he wears pink tee shirts and hugs trees.
O lighten up, you’re so hung up abnout how real men are and big trucks or even trucks arn’t you
you’re very defensive over pink shirts, umbrella drinks, driving little cars, manicures and pedicures
WHy do you do all of them on your MAC?
Having a laugh with you , maybe where you live , actually where do you live, in the north east, Chicago, san fran or another part of CA?
Go surprise me
Subaru? Good cars, I loved the 4WD station wagon back in the 80s. It couldn’t do 90 in a free-fall, but it could slug it out through the snow and mud pretty well, and it was reliable. However, they do make cars that aren’t much bigger than the Smart, and they gain their technical back seats by cramping the front. The Smart may be small, but at least it’s roomy.
Who am I to argue with Dwayne.......
Nah, you look sexy in anything..........
Fail,this chick digs any dodge with a Hemi.
Concentrate on what earns you money, not the flash, and you will have much better odds.
For example, my kids take one of my trucks to an estate sale, and sit and wait for little old ladies to throw money at them to move a dresser, or some such.
You are judging people by the car they drive. It's ignorant. Someone on this thread has a Prius, bought based on the numbers for gas. You gonna go say he's gay because he's driving a Prius?

In a place where some people commute in SUVs and trucks with 26" rims and ultra low-profile tires, and others in dinged-up Jeeps with "Paved roads are a waste of tax money" bumper stickers, and a certain time of year a lot of the trucks have deer racks on their trailer hitches. I think we have two Smarts in town, and one of them belongs to a soldier.
oh so what, loosen up this is reality and no matter how you try and justify it you will not stopm epople laughing at those.
if you like pink shirts, drive girlie cars, get manicures, pedicures, hate trucks, get umbrella drinks etc then great but calling people ignorant just because they would see that and think what a big girls blouse they are and then laugh at those who do all that and you then tough
Like my daughter tells my boys man up
I live just outside of Detroit and there are tons of new and recently new trucks on the road. Strangely enough, the only ones I ever see hauling anything have business signs on their doors.........
Most of them have the plastic covers over the beds and those that don't, don't have a scratch......which tells me they're just commuter trucks.
And in the winter months after a snow fall, it's always the trucks and the SUV's that have slid off the highways......
The above is just an observation......
oh sorry I forgot to answer yes we do judge people by what they wear, what they drive and how they act, when we see a man sitting cross legged and wearing a helmet riding a bicycle then yes it gets a laugh by us
that is reality
>>And the strip mines in Chile and Russia where the lithium and nickel are gathered that generate huge amounts of pollution. (Not to mention that they do it cheaper than can be done here. Lithium mines in Chile undercut a couple of mines here in North Carolina and drove them to close shop.)<<
Excellent point! I’ll add that to the list of the left’s ongoing hypocrisy.

The Rock is one of my Hollywood favorites. His movies are family friendly and he is one of Hollywood’s few Republicans (read - unlike much of Tinsel Town he is blessed with brains and morals.)
You just made my entire day!!
Late to the thread, but it seems like it was meant in fun. Although, I’m sure a few responses are from the truly ignorant.
Now if you want to see fun, you should see the looks a tattooed and bearded biker gets when he steps out of a VW Beetle with a peace sign on the back. I know, because I’m still gentleman enough to gas up the wife’s car. It’s hilarious.
