    Cobain, really? :D

    The quote is generally attributed to Joseph Heller's Catch-22, but the phrase has been around far longer than WWII and can't really be pinned down to one source.

    And yes, they are all looking at your (but not my) Prius. ;)

    I am not going to read all of the post on what appears to be a senseless thread.

    I would say that if "me" is an attractive blond .... yes, at least the men "everybody" are probably ......... looking.

    Now, seriously .... I genuinely hope that other drivers are looking at me. Someone mentioned looking at the car behind ... I want them to be paying close attention to me (in front) and watching for my signals, turn lights and brake lights. I want them to be aware of the road conditions, and attentive to slowing traffic ahead and anticipate that I will be slowing as well.

    I want the car alongside me to be attentive as well.

    I couldnt agree more. I work at a Toyota Dealer and bought a 2008 Prius last May. I love it, and lately I feel like a member of Al Qaeida walking through NYC on 9-11!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mean muggin' rednecks is what I always say to myself. It's only because for the first time in 30 years, they get to say """""""see- look! there's one of them danged ole rockets o death! That's why I buy "American"!"""" Stupid hillbilly's. Prii are perfectly fine and safe to drive, just like the rest of the Toyotas. And amidst all the recalls, still not another car on the road I'd put my family in.

    Of course they are staring at your car. Your Prius isn't wearing any pants!
