The Toyota Prius … a "gateway drug?" So claims a well-known actor in a new book of celebrity essays, "The Green Book," about the hybrid that hooked him into living more "G." "You know how people say marijuana is a gateway drug? That's sorta what buying a Prius was for me," he says. "I love nature, and I love taking walks on the beach at sunset. And if that makes me sound like Miss February filling out her turn-ons in a Playboy bio, so be it."

Tony Schaefer, one of the founders of the Chicago Prius Club, uses the same analogy when he describes how the Prius turned him from an unaware Buick Regal owner — "Emissions? Didn't care. Mileage? Didn't care" — into a "raving, evangelical environmentalist" with a bumper sticker of a stick-figure man blowing his brains out with a gas nozzle.[/b]

I was just about to PM you. The original posting when hywire and I ended up double-posting. You and Cheap! posted at the same time but in each thread. The two threads refused to merge so I ended up deleting one. I chose yours because after looking at the post I noticed that some of the coding was screwed up.

ohh I see

lol... I didn't merge the other two threads I found that were repeated. I just gave the link to the current thread since the posts were not worth merging (IOW, they gave the same link)
