VIDEO: No Prius Can Survive The “Priuspocalypse”

There’s hardly a more controversial modern car than the Toyota Prius. Oddly shaped, squat, wide, and the progenitor of countless state-supported environmental measures, the Prius has become the bane of every red-blooded gearhead in the U.S. today.

Priuspocalypse_5Supporters of the vehicle tout its MPG and eco-friendliness, sometimes to the point of excessive hubris. We saw an extreme example of this not too long ago in a video we shared, wherein we laid witness to a portly woman’s profane anger over diesels and their smoky, eco-deadly stereotype.

Her left-of-center screaming and general antics are forever cemented thanks to YouTube, but the diesel crowd took its time with crafting some suitable vengeance. Now, the wait has come to a close thanks to a bunch of good ole boys in the Midwest, who organized an event for the history books.

Priuspocalypse_1Ladies and gentlemen, we give you: “Prius-pocalypse”! The guys and gals of Bentonville, Arkansas, organized an impromptu get-together in a wide open field to celebrate all things diesel.

Starting off, we’re treated to dirt-flinging doughnuts and drifts across the expanse of the field. Ram, Ford, and Chevy owners put aside their differences to have a good time, and the whooping and cheering from the sidelines adds to the madness. To say these folks were having a nice party to themselves would be a massive understatement.

As the sun sets, however, the real fun begins. Like a fatted calf dropped down into a lion’s den, the forsaken blue Prius sits awaiting its fate as the crowd goes nuts on its exterior. Body slams, kicking, random objects thrown, and axes thrash and dismember the four-cylinder turd in a frenzy of destruction.

Then comes the closing act: chains are wrapped around and through the unibody frame and hitched to the rears of several trucks, in a classic dismemberment setup. It’s a real moment of release, in more ways than one, as the Prius is ripped and crushed to pieces.
