There must be something wrong with me. I really like antagonizing environmentalists. I once threw a bottle cap over the side of a boat just to see the reaction of a San Francisco-an. Wow, I got a lecture that time.

I guess since I have not had kids, I should get extra carbon credits from Igor's (opps I mean Al Gore's) carbon credit account.
That's a great point! I never thought of it that way before. LOL

I still drive the same 4-cyl truck that I bought back in 1995. I'll probably keep it until the wheels fall off, then recycle it.

Re: Prius is better looking than a Z06

I've known people with these cars. They, like us, are of the same mold. Very very conservative in nature. Ok, let me put it this way. They are outright BORING. I mean, most minivan drivers have more personality.

I will add that I've driven both an 03 and and 06. The 06 is a technological marvel. Definitely a class leader at the time. My friend and I both agreed, our cars are both leaders in their class.

Re: Prius is better looking than a Z06

I never did hear what kind of MPG Gore Jr got from his Prius when he was clocked at 100 mph. Then we'd have something to compare.

I went to that board a while back and noticed that they were only getting around 45 mpg mixed. They are rated at 60 city and 52 highway.

Re: Prius is better looking than a Z06

I hear that when a man goes to the dealership to buy a Prius they actually remove your testicles.

so now I guess my 68 Vette, 86 Countach, 90 F40, 92 512TR, 95 512M are all Green mobiles

When do I get my HOV exempt stickers to apply ?

Nice collection! You get my vote for HOV exempt

Most Prius owners around here are boneheads. If you are driving a Vette they purposely cut you off and pull out right in front of you. They don't do that when I'm driving my truck.

Re: Prius is better looking than a Z06

would he really buy a miata over a vette? and you apperently got ripped off for paying 65k for a z06 which will beat the pants off a car that is worth 3 times as much?

Hypermilers in clean cars giving dirty looks should just be ignored. They are always the ones poking along in the HOV lanes during non-HOV hours. I like to open up the cutouts and give them something to listen to as I hustle around them.
