    Pretty sure there was a survey on this a long time back.
    I'm a physician, there's a disproportionate number of Engineers and people with technical backgrounds....at least there was at that time.

    I suspect the demographic is shifting as the Prius becomes more main stream and we'll start seeing more people with non-tech backgrounds jump into the fray.

    Yep, electrical engineer right here! Also working on my masters in EE part time.

    Yeah, I remember there was a poll back then similar to this.

    :eek:

    This is bizarre... On a few sportbiking websites I used to haunt, the same was true... Seriously weighed towards the engineering/tech crowd... I'm starting to think maybe they're more apt to be in front of a computer and actually express themselves online than other demographics....

    Weird...





    Oh, er, to answer the OP's question, I'm in International Finance :ph34r:

    I'm a groundwater hydrologist, wife is a financial analyst. Does it really surprise anyone that folks with a technical background would be the people posting about an innovative technology vehicle?

    Are there any Ham Radio folks driving the Prius? I'm curious about mobile radio installation and any potential RF problems or antenna installations with all the electronics!

    OK, I'm an engineer specialising in Signal Integrity for high speed design.
    I am a Ham (KN6YU), and I have a VHF/UHF installation in my < month old Prius; seems to
    work fine.

    I don't know about HF (but I don't see why not; I think the problems there are more mechanical
    than electrical: I'd be afraid of the antenna tipping the car over :) )

    Until a year and a half ago hubs was military, 17 plus years in Ranger Battalions and several writing manuals for, and teaching at, the Army's Physical Fitness School. I, when employed, was an Education and Volunteer Co-ordinator for a private non profit family planning agency.

    He just finished his first semester as an English teacher (H.S.) and is finishing up his Masters, and I am an artist who is also a potter, or perhaps the reverse is more accurate.
