    Figured this might be a fun and interesting poll. Are you so obsessed with your Prius that it might actually be unhealthy? Or, if you don't think you are, does someone who know you disagree? :ph34r:

    I've been unhealthy obsessed but I've calmed down lately after my husband said I stopped loving him

    My shrink says I seem to have shifted my "transference" from her to the Prius. She says that's a relief for her, and probably a wash for me. :p

    My wife...er, my wife...um, what was her name again?...she's really a nice person...

    Currently 14 months and counting. I still want to park away from other cars. I still look out the window when a minivan of children parks next to it. I drive my wife crazy with the beeping of switching over to check my mileage at every stoplight.

    It's unheathy.

    Jack, I told my shrink to buy a Prius and he'll understand. He's now trying to convince HIS shrink to get one. :D

    I didn't think I was too bad until I parked in a store parking lot and my friend told me I turned to look at it 3 times before we got into the store.

    So what?

    So you must think Bill is the most obsessed? I can't wait to see his comment. Just being a Regular member here means we are all a bit obsessed right. I do take looks at her as I'm leaving. I have a webcam set up to see her in the parking lot at the office. And when co-workers leave at night I move her to a well lit spot. I park in a corner of every parking lot to minimize dings. I'm single so I don't think it's that unhealthy. I still get work done.

    A webcam? Woo-hoo! Sounds borderline kinky to me...

    ...or is it more a law-and-order thing, trying to catch parking-lot dingers red-handed?

    Actually a live feed could have saved me some money recently. Believe it or not, someone took a baseball bat to my '05 with less than 5000 miles on it... Long story involving sex and violence. Maybe I'll start with a baby monitor and move up to the webcam...

    My friends have stopped hanging out with me, thus, causing me to search for new ones with similar interests. Hello friends!

    I wasn't using the webcam to post to the net but I can. It's realy crappy because it's not a night vision cam and there is just barly enough light to see part of the car. I just have the vid off to the side of the screen so I can see what's going on. I did it because of many drug dealers use our parking lot to make deals with thier customers from behind our gate. There has also been homeless people who store thier belongings behind my car. I just need to be able to go out and confront these people when I see them.

    One good story was the time when I heard something under the building. I ran out and just caught a glimps of 2 feet sticking out of an access hole. It took a long time to get the guy out of there. He had a stash of beer bottles under there too.

    I also find people releaving themselves back there since we are so close to a lot of night clubs. These people are so waisted they can hardly walk and most of them are women.


    So here you go... http://67.19.193.82/~intense3/images/webcam.jpg
