And again today! These people should either get with the program and STEP
ON THE GAS, or take the bus like God intended.

And then there's the bumper stickers or the peace sign. if it's a woman, a
Prius, and somesort of Moonbat bumper sticker, I pull in somewhere and
wait it out.

They think they're saving something, but if it's cold, or hot, or snowing
or raining the drain on the electrical system causes the gas motor to run
much more than the electric motor. The electric motor then only kicks in
from stop lights or for additional acceleration. Get it? ACCELERATION!!!!

There must be more Priuses (Prius, Prii?) in youre locales than here... I'm
rarely behind one, much less annoyed at one's driver.

OTOH, this afternoon, coming home from work, there was a Chevy doing 45 on
the arterial (4 lane divided higheway).

Rush Limbaugh calls the area I live in the Kremlin West. Lots of REALLY
Left Liberal k00ks here (we're not talking your run-of-the-mill Liberal
here, I *MEAN* k00ks! One woman, a professor at Amherst College,
successfully got a law passed in Amherst that the American flag cannot be
flown until 7 days prior to and following a holiday. The rest of the time
the flag has to be taken down. Why? Why, it's a symbol of oppression, of
course!!!)

Not surprising we have a large number of snail's-pace Prius (Prii...)
here. They think they're saving the planet.

I see Toyota has scaled back it's advertising to show the ~48MPG the Prius
actually gets. Sad part is, I had a $12,000 Tercel that got 45.

And that was COMBINED driving!

Highway Lunacy is not the sole propriety of Hybrid drivers...

Here's the art is dominated by:

- Large 4 door sedans (hello grandma/grandpa)
- Volkswagens, any model (hello 23 year old chick doing her hair and talking
on phone)
- Full size conversion vans. Granted these are often used by handicapped
people because their big side doors allow for lift installation. But if I
don't see a handicapped sticker, what I usually see is a woman driver who
appears to weigh more than my truck. This suggests that a theory of mine is
correct: When your ass is as big as my washing machine and dryer side by
side, you're accustomed to taking up too much space when you're not in your
car, and you do the same when you're driving.

DING! Give the man a cigar!

How 'bout a 23 YO VW driver DANCING with no hands on the wheel coming to a
jam at the busiest intersection in town?
