I see lots of Prius models driving about, and as of late I've taken noticed that all are clean, and by clean I mean even the alloy rims have no visible brake dust. Are Prius owners that proud of their car that they dust it every day? And are Prius drivers as smug as popular culture has made them out to be? Also, is owning a hybrid the new status symbol in today's society? And are most car-carrying liberals? I'm serious here, but I just get the sense that most are, perhaps in that elitist sort of way.
