For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, for every MORON out there with a HUMMER, there can exist his nemesis. Counterbalance the excess of society with the superiority of reason.

aqua blue

a/c
automatic
dual front air bags
hybrid
power windows
power door locks

Not a- honda, bio-diesel, nissan, camel

Well, since you turned off the "PC generator", I'll drop my 2 cents:

Yuck. Prius has no "personality", and they are very "squashable". Another "applicance" car. The automotive equivalent of a cheap toaster.

No offense, but I'd rather drive the Hummer. An older Hummer, specifically--not the H2..

Mike

So if I buy 3 Hummers a Unimog and a G class, how many Prius owner's are needed to balance me out?

What if you like driving real fast, like 60, does that justify not buying a prius, or does the concern for the environment supercede?

Ironically, somebody in a little Prius cut me off on the downtown Interstate today, and almost got "downsized" by my 4,000 lb. 300SD!

Probably would have felt like a larger-than-normal speed bump from my point of view! Would have been unpleasant for her, I imagine....
