    As unlikely it is that the owner of any given Prius that one spots
    on the road actually participates in any of the forums, maybe
    it's worth the long shot to reach out to the silver one I passed
    this afternoon, that had just gotten rear-ended by a dark green
    Jeep on I-91 north just before the I-84 east ramp. The left side
    of the rear bumper plastic was all busted in, but it didn't look
    like that much damage. It was very tempting to pull off ahead
    of the scene and offer some sort of character-witness input if
    they wanted, because that same jeep had been behind me a couple
    of miles before and did *not* take the strong hint that I really
    wanted him off my butt pronto after he came wailin' up on me
    minding my own business in the right lane. I can only hope that
    fitting justice is served and the Jeep driver goes down hard, and
    regret that it's possibly at the cost of broken Prius parts.

    Your 'yuppie button' is a great idea, something I've wished for, for years.
    I hope justice was done to the Jeep on I-91.

    In my previous vehicle, a '95 Wrangler, I was often hounded by tailgaters who seemed to think that Jeep drivers should be as careless & reckless as they are.

    The one accident I had was a rear ender, in which the vehicle behind me "didn't think" that I'd actually stop at the Stop-sign. The vehicle behind me was another Jeep Wrangler.

    When we run up to Newport we group up trucker convoy style, leapfrogging to share the fuel robbing 'point' position.

    Group up! (I-95)
