Who is driving a Prius?

[Howard]

Rachael Ray not only opts for a Toyota Prius when she's in a driver's seat, but insists on using car services that drive the hybrid mobiles as well.

Mandy Moore went shopping for a Toyota Prius at a dealership in Hollywood, Calif., Dec. 18, 2006. For the first time since the current version of the Prius went on sale three years ago, there are enough to fill customer demand.

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio, dressed in his usual baseball cap and sunglasses, heads to his eco-friendly Toyota Prius after picking up some magazines at a Sunset Boulevard Newspaper stand in West Hollywood, Calif. DiCaprio is among a growing list of celebs who drive the eco-friendly car.

Tom Hanks, arrives at the premiere of the film "The Ant Bully" at L.A.'s Grauman's Chinese Theatre in a Toyota Prius hybrid. The so-called Prius shortage has been eased by adding a second production shift at a Toyota plant in Japan.

Former Vice-president Al Gore was recently hired by the British governmet to help get other countries, especially the United States, more active in efforts to stop global warming. He recently appeared at a California rally in favor of a global warming initiative in a Toyota Prius.

Actor Ed Begley Jr. has been active in environmental causes for years. He, to, is a proud Prius owner.

Actor Larry David arrives at the L.A. premiere of Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" last May. Like Al Gore, Larry David, too, drives a Prius.

Donny Osmond is among the many celebrities who drives a Prius.

I'm all for promoting the Prius image, but I think that the Hollywood crowd is probably last on my list of eco-friendly role models.

The only celebrity I like who drives a Prius is Larry David, his wife actually takes part in a lot of environmental causes.
As for everyone else, they piss me off. John Travolta preaching about global warming, yet the dude has 5 private jets! That's the problem with all these people, they're hypocrites. They have all the money in the world and tell people to support global causes, yet the amount of money they give is faint to what they make.

Did anyone see that picture of Kirsten Dunst parking her Prius in a handicapped zone? She's not too bright.

I saw it on google video a few months ago. Everyone should see that movie, not just people interested in Hybrids.

YUCK! Those people are driving cars like mine???? I wish I'd bought a Hummer. (Just kidding.)

My car is not a political statement. My car is my transportation.

Well, that's not entirely true. I'd rather give my money to the Japanese than the Arabs.

I'm glad it doesn't pollute as much or use up the earth's resources as fast as other vehicles.

I'm glad it saves me money in fuel efficiency.

I'm glad it is a "vote" for alternative energy for two reasons: (1) the earth doesn't have a limitless supply of oil and (2) I don't want to pay money for energy to people who hate us.

But if owning a Prius means that people identify me with those halfwits afflicted with GroupThink, I'm going to have to get a bumper sticker that says, "I drive a Prius, but I think for myself."
