My Prius and I made the front page of the local paper

I spoke to the Los Angeles Daily News last week about my Prius, the rise in gas prices and the effects on my driving habits. To my surprise, I made the front cover of the paper. http://www.dailynews.com/Stories/0,1413,20...167794,00.html#

Wow! Someone in L.A. has mounted a woman on the hood of their SUV!

Talk about conspicuous consumption. :mrgreen:

I hate to judge, but. . . wait, I love doing that! Michelle Manire is a moron.

Right. Any second now, more dinosaurs are going to die and turn into oil. Check back in a few million years.

"But for Kash, the draw of the Prius goes beyond economics to politics -- he's trying to help reduce the country's dependence on foreign oil, one fill-up at a time.

Kinda looks like she needs the extra room of the Escalade, but hey: "the softer the cushion..." :_>

Back to the 100% tax on personal vehicles......imagine the elimination of traffic overnight, all the funds generated to improve the standard of living, and the drop in SUV prices overnight.

At $10 / gallon, I'm definitely still driving! But wait until I get rid of my SUV first! LOL!

Heh. Nice, but given the other picture they should have gotten Cameron Diaz for the Prius picture.

As for politics... I'm not sure I'd call Alberta, Texas or even Saudi Arabia our enemies though...
