Should we remind the California legislature that this problem was already solved (and subsequently outlawed) just a couple of years ago?:

I think the best solution to this problem is to find out who's on the committee, who brought up the legislation and go down to Sacramento (or whereever they live and relax) and walk behind everyone with a nice old school brass clanging bell and rip off a good clang clang every few moments with the phrase "Just want to make sure you know I'm here"

I LIKE IT!!! What a great idea! If we make our cars totally annoying and obnoxious sounding, they'll try to pass a law preventing our noise! We can pretend how upset we are and then secretly enjoy our cars once more:-)

Or we get all of the Northern California members of PriusChat to install the most obnoxious noise makers they can find and do laps around the Capital while the legislature is in session. I have a cowbell that I could mount on the towhook.

We could invite Bubb Rubb to be our spokesperson when we organize the rally around the Capital.

Whatever... as long as we can keep making new threads about noisy hybrids so we can keep posting that video!
