Holden1989 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Ok, so I think I'm getting old. A few reasons are behind my thinking are..... - I never go out - this month I have made my pay cheque last an entire month AND Iv been driving a Toyota Prius, yes prius for a week as a courtesy car...... ........ And enjoying it I cruise along the motorway on battery mode doing 70mph and all I can think about is how smooth and comfortable it is, it's so roomy, all I need now is two little sprogs in the back and I would be middle aged !! It goes back tomorow, I'm sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesArup Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Time to get the Purdey's and take you out-back. I have occasionally had these feelings when cruising around in the 'armchair'like' goodness of the Range Rover or Discovery. But the moment you hop back in the Supra you realise that you were just being stupid, and everything feels right again If this doesn't happen .. then it's time to worry!

Abz Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I drove my Dad's Mercedes C Class yesterday & was thinking, Ohhh this feels so smooth & soft, my back side is loving it & then I put my foot down......nothing happened. Yep we are all getting old but it is the little kid in our which tells us, don't grow up you will look ugly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clapyohandz Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 How old are you then ? A Prius would do the job on a daily basis but you would eventually miss the supie. Or perhaps it's time to get an AMG black series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden1989 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 I don't have the luxury of driving a supra anymore but really, a prius at the age of 21? I'm going to sit in a park tonight and drink cider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westcoaster Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hovis? What's the craic with Hovis? A friend of mine has a Prius as a company car, it is much better than I thought it would be. The dashboard and general styling make me think it's like a modern 'old style' Citroen, but built by Toyota! @ Kayla, you know you're old when you have money at the end of the month and you have a high interest savings account!

TonytotheB Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I have just taken delivery of a Prius for work. A needs based car. It makes me appreciate my Supra more. I like the pay cheque comment haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a savings account, is that bad Guys your ment to make me feel better, not justify my reasonings as to why I should get a prius!!

Josh Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I'm 21 and I've not got one yet. I have money left over every month but don't feel old. Life is just beginning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 My other half tells me that indicating in a car park is a true indication of getting old. My flat cap nearly fell off when she said that, the cheek! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 We have a Honda Insight Hybrid at work. It's so quiet and smooth it makes me sleepy. A very different style of driving to get the best out of it. Drive like you don't have a care in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aweegin Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 A friend once said to me.. '...once you actually think you are old..then you will feel it!' She is 83...and does more than some 40-50 year old i know.. Though I'm a big fan of her other sayin.. 'Life's too short for cuttin grass!' lol It's just all the lead in the Prius' batteries leeching into your system through the steering wheel and seat..this clouds your judgement. As soon as you return it and go cold turkey..you will see the error of your ways... maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden1989 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 I'm even too old for hovis, damn it!!! Maybe you right about the dirty disgusting vibes the prius is sending me through the steering wheel...... .......maybe (however I do indicate in carparks) damn it stevie!!

bradleyh_15 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 21 and past it!? It can't be! I have 2 well paid jobs and rarely do I have money left at the end of each month and I'm 28 so if your past it I'm heading for the grave! Also i love staying in and spending time with the other half! Heading into town just means you bump into jumped up little wannabe's wearing burberry! It's much nicer staying in with someone you care about cuddled up watching a good DVD or enjoying a nice meal! Ok time to take old yella out back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Time to get the Purdey's and take you out-back. I have occasionally had these feelings when cruising around in the 'armchair'like' goodness of the Range Rover or Discovery. But the moment you hop back in the Supra you realise that you were just being stupid, and everything feels right again If this doesn't happen .. then it's time to worry! I much prefer my Range Rover to any Supra for day to day driving, I doubt I will ever get another sup for the road, too tempting to go fast and too uncomfortable. The Rangey rocks, im trying to source the parts to mmake into a 2010 look, having all the wood veneer done in piano black same as the autobiography model and a stainless exhaust will be fabbed as soon as we have time.
