If I were employed by google, I would sell my other cars, & buy 3 Priuses. $5000 subsidy is just to hard to pass.

For sure! lol

Nope the real reason is because of all the electricity you west enders use up so y'all can have water!

Y'all need to make up for it somehow! C'mon 6 megawatts a day to pump water to LA.

BTW I see a lot of Prius up here everyday.

Just wait til California brings its first desalination plant on line! Although, cutting back on polution may result in normal rain-fall, and recharge of the central valley lakes. Did you see Nova this week? Polution causes droughts they said.

Hmm... up here, I see as many TCHs as Priuses (mostly b/c of the cabs). TCHs are really popular which is odd since everyone says Canadians prefer smaller cars.

I'm so used to driving through the Bay Area up to Sacramento and seeing nearly uncountable numbers of Prius . . . [/b]

I was surprised to hear my wife suggest we try to count all the ones we see in the SF Bay area in one day. I'd certainly need her help, as it would be too distracting to maintain a count while driving.

You guys are pikers compared to West L.A. in general, and Santa Monica specifically. I'd get carpal tunnel syndrome trying to waive to all of us down here.

No, San Fransisco isn't allowing anymore hybrid's to be sold due to the dangerously high increase of smug in the air.

Also, George Clooney has been banned from the city.

I am going to San Francisco for a conference in December for a week, and will have lots of free time (I don't care about the conference so much, but since I am presenting my research, I can have it funded by my project and my wife and I need a vacation!). If I wanted to go to Napa Valley for a day trip is it easy to rent a Prius there? I don't think any car-rentals here rent Prii.
