Toyota Prius... there, I said it!

Yeah, yeah... I know... hand in my man card and pick out a "European shoulder bag"

No, but wait... I have purely evil selfish reasons to want one... REALLY!

Three little letters... H O V

I drive 20 miles each way of boring freeway to work everyday... 45 minutes each way.

When I had a co-worker near me we car pooled and it was 30 minutes.

So I could save 30 minutes a day, five days a week if I get a car with a HOV lane sticker.

I have already looked at autotrader and such cars are available... have also registered at priuschat form and getting some pros and cons on these cars.

My commuter car is just a disposable appliance to me and nothing more... I reserve the right to have a sports/fun car to drive on the weekends.

Anyone know about these cars? Anyone own one or know someone who does? Any ideas of an alternate HOV car? (can't do a motorcycle).

My biggest worry is the battery, I hear they are mega expensive to replace... however I also hear certain models have a 150K mile warranty on the battery.

Thanks in advance.
