    I'm looking for hybrid owners to comment yay/nay on a new study showing hybrid ownership boosts your general popularity (for all) and/or dating potential (for singles). Please call me at 314-280-6689 if interested in being part of this article.

    Am I more popular now that I own a Prius? Nope.

    Has my dating potential increased? Nope. My wife STILL won't let me go out on dates. ;-)

    You can tell it’s a slow news day?

    Inquiring minds need to know?

    You gotta be kidding me?

    Hmmmm....what's more newsworthy: floods in Missouri & thousands left homeless or the answer to the question "is your Prius a "babe magnet?"

    And the dumbing down of America...continues.......

    NOT interested in making a long distance call. There are plenty of ways in my profile in which you can contact me so it's not on my dime if you really want to hear from me.

    Come to think of it, these cars are supposed to be geek magnets...and the tech guy at work i was flirting with shot me down anyways...so apparently Lady Jane isn't going to do anything at all for my social life.

    everyone here has to admit that the car does spur discussion from people out of the
    blue?

    i do not know about the chick magnet thing but people do like to discuss the car and
    check it out.

    Manners, people. This guy is just doing what (sadly) I've had to do millions of times: troll for information when an editor decides it's time for a "trend" story. (.... and while I've got your attention, anyone in the Pittsburgh area know someone who's switched to biofuels with their diesel automobile?)

    See??? Now I'M doing it....

    HA! I was interested when I saw the title until I looked at the the post since I am not far from St Louis. My friends thought I had "geeked out" until gas $4. Now, I have had several friends convert in the last month.

    No Pulitzer prize for this topic. Stick to serious issues--remember Woodward and Bernstein. Suggestions: Oil price speculation, American car company/oil company collusion, Global Warming.

    Now that I have my Prius, I'm dating a lot more than I used to.


    My wife would kill me if she found out.
