One of these things is not like the other

Maybe you saw ours. I have been noticing more and more <strike>Prius</strike> <strike>Priuss</strike> <strike>Priuii</strike> hybrids in my area (Hapton Roads, VA). Most of them are the current model, although every once and a while you will see a Classic.

 

Fort Lee, VA has at least 8 Prii (This is not a big post) and my community of 150 homes has at least 3. I also see 3-4 every day going to work (Mainly on rt 288). There are so many around here I don't wave anymore . Te funny thing is that gas around here is usually some of the lowest in the nation along with NJ and SC. Go figure.

Same here, Spidey. There are over 1000 people working at the factory here. I'm still the only one with a Prius. Last week I decided to count the SUVs and Trucks coming toward me in the opposite lane of a two lane road. I counted 23 in a row before I saw another car. It's sad. That's why I would like to see gas go up to $4/gallon.

 

I have never seen another driver in my area that looked my age (29) or younger, everyone that I see driving a Prius in Summit county OH looks to be at least 60 years old. I find it quite ironic that a vehicle that is so progressively different and better is championed by so many seniors.

While in a parking lot I also once saw 3 other prius at a stoplight but with a Durango sandwiched in between. I rarely see others when I'm on the highway, but if I decide to take main city streets home I usually see 3 or 4.

You mean like this crap....

Down here in Florida (near Tampa) dem "redneck, mile high, jacked up, giant tire, monster trucks" are all over the friggin' town and city streets, with mud and stones flyin' off 'em !! :angry: Cops down here just don't give a dam, probably because many of the cops actually OWN a monster, illegally jacked up (way past the 4" bumper height limit) truck just like it.....

Here's some pics taken just four streets away from me in our "gated community"....

They had a big half-price sale on 'em at Bubba's Auto Parts last month...... yep, yep !!
They also had 50% off the "hanging testicle trailer hitch ornament" in assorted colors, too !!
Love thy neighborhood redneck !!

 

I can go days without seeing one around me, then I might see 1 or 2. Which surprises me because finding one in the Chicago area, new or used, is a challenge now and the salesman at St. Charles Toyota said they were selling them like mad. I do love the attention my magnetic gray baby gets - and people are so curious about how often I have to plug it in.

I was thinking of the line in Shrek:

"Do you think he's compensatin' for something?"

 

Yesterday, I saw a Prius that was Red and White... seriously... it had two wide red stripes, the long way, from hood, over roof, and down the back.
It made me blink!!
