Awesome. Who's the smart guy that is protecting his car from the UV rays?

I live in SoCal, where we see several hybrids every single day on the roads, but I was in Chicago about three weeks ago, and we drove down to Southern IL in a rental car and back to Chicago. The whole week, I only saw maybe seven or eight Prius cars. Here in SoCal, I see about ten every day.

I believe that's the car of FireEngineer Wayne(of EBH install fame), and I think that's him standing on the right. It was a hot day by our standards, in the 90's.

You won't see as many of the Prius in rural areas like south and central Illinois, but there are a few. I might see 2 or 3 in a typical 20-minute drive in the Chicago suburbs. Just last week I saw another one show up in our parking lot at work (about 1000 cars, maybe 6 or 7 Prius).
