I love to see them. I don't particularly want one but everyone that's on the road in CA. means cleaner air and downward pressure on the demand side of the oil equation which equals cheaper fuel for me. (And everyone else/good for the economy).

Even better, the horrible pollution caused by the battery production stays in other countries' ground water and not ours. A win-win.

A Prius blew past me the other day, I was doing 75-80 so s/he must've been really booking.

License plate read: "IQ3XMPG".

Like I said: smug.

Well now, the Dodge truck owner could have had the same plate.

The Toyota Prius has become the flagship car for those in our society so environmentally conscious that they are willing to spend a premium to show the world how much they care. Unfortunately for them, their ultimate "green car"™ is the source of some of the worst pollution in North America; it takes more combined energy per Prius to produce than a Hummer.

I dunno... I just watched what Tom posted (excellent btw) and since the PryUs was cooking along, his IQ must be below room temperature.

...although still smug about it.

Just to dig up the tenderized DRT equine, there's another hyrid supercar on the market. Uses a 30kW diesel microturbine. Watch out Batmobile.
Capstone CMT-380 electric hybrid supercar with microturbines
"0-60mph in 3.9 seconds, has a top speed of 150mph, and a range of up to 500 miles on a single tank of fuel - all with ultra-low exhaust emissions that rival any hybrid on the market today."
