    Well I was in quality assurance in the medical device industry (mostly biomaterials) for 20 years but I "went Galt" a week before picking up my Prius and quit. My plan is to run out of money at about age 65, then live on government programs while laughing at everyone who kept working only to have their SS and medicare benefits means tested away.

    That post makes you sound like a gay/lesbian mormon!

    Ok, I know that wasn't tasteful but I couldn't help it. :D

    Why gay or lesbian? Do they have exclusive rights to mutiple partners or Prius?

    Where I live and among my friends (both gay/lesbian and not), the use of partner instead of girlfriend/boyfriend or husband/wife is commonplace for LGBT supporters. :)

    RE: PRIUS OWNERS POLL

    I am an orthodontist past 39 years but before that worked in engineering at Motorola Semiconductor and am a fan of anything that has really great engineering in it. I got a lightly used 2008 Prius package V last May and liked it so much I decided to give it to my wife and buy a 2010 package V with safety connect for myself. (Had to wait for that but it was worth it).

    It is rally a cool little acr and I really enjoy it.

    I'm a social worker, so I'm all about the enviro-friendliness. My fiance is in finance, so he's all about the good gas mileage.
