I know what you mean. I always take a dump before I drive anywhere, it's just good policy.

 

You wave at fellow hybrid drivers and honk AND wave at fellow hybrid drivers driving the same color.

Quick story, I once honked and waved at this girl driving a Prius (shhh don't tell my wife) and she honked bacK!!!!!! I'm telling you, chicks love the Prius!

Rock on!

I met my boyfriend at a stop light!!!

 

You *think* you're a real hybrid owner even when you have to pump gasoline in the thing to make it go.

You *know* you're a real hybrid owner when you don't have to use gasoline to make it go.

(Now we just need the "real" hybrids!)

 

You Know You're a Real Hybrid Owner When...

...even though you are late for a very important event, you still refuse to go above 55 mph on the freeway

...road rage is a thing of the past due to your new, relaxed driving style

...you drive into a national park/nature reserve, wind down the windows and enjoy the sounds of the park WHILST you are driving in

 

When you are hesitant to leave your Prius with the valet parking attendant because you thnk he won't be able to figure out how to drive your car without some instruction first...but he drives away easily like he does with every other car that on the lot.

please tell me you don't drive 54 in the fast lane!

 

You offer to drive every week, instead of car pooling alternate weeks with a co-worker, and ask him to just pay you what he would have payed for gas in his SUV.

 

When someone is talking about ICE, you don't automatically think they are discussing frozen water.

 

You regularly get passed by Oldsmobiles with Florida license plates.

SUV's get over 50mpg? Hey! I'll take TWO!

 

You turn off the A/C/heater when driving up to people standing around so they will hear only the quiet of an electric motor as you glide up.

 

When you spend 1/2 - 1 hr everyday on PriusChat, but somehow feels you don't have enough time for your thesis work...

Hey! Working on a thesis causes stress, that causes belly fat. Prius Chat relieves stress. It will help you loose (or as you are probably still relatively young, prevent) belly fat.

Hmm... Thesis advisor's don't really care if you are stressed or not... they want to see results... :angry: True that reading PC relieves stress.

 

You know you're a Prius owner when...

You try to open your house door without unlocking it first.

 

the cars behind you see you "rolling"... and they be hatin'...

 

When people ask you how you like your Prius and you respond with your MPG.
