    Okay, since my last poll wasn't very thought out, maybe this will work better.
    And for the curious, my choices were (in order) 1, 3,

    And New York! However, I received them and didn't put them on. New York state requires 4 stickers! One on every corner of the car. The carpool lane in my area only extends about 20-30 miles on the Long Island Expressway and it has certain hours posted. So I haven't felt a need to enter the carpool lane. :rolleyes:

    Interesting how the over 50 group is leading the way. And they say us children of the 60's are all burnt out from drugs and and have Atention Defi "oh look a bunny; Hi cute little bunny!"

    Shouldn't the last set of questions allow multiple answers?

    30-34 yr female here. I chose "Wanted to help the environment" but it was also the mileage and the fact that the Prius is a hatchback. And so darned cute too.

    Actually, this poll is not just about what kind of person owns a Prius. Its about what kind of person owns a Prius AND actively participates in the PriusChat website. So, some of the questions might be skewed. Lets see... which questions would be skewers <_< ... without being sexist or racist or otherwise prejudiced, I claim the 5th.

    Hmm.. I seem to be the only 16-19 year old who owns a Prius, and reads PriusChat as well.

    My main reason for getting a Prius was so that when the environment is totally screwed I can say "It wasn't me!".

    (BTW, I am the one making the car payment. The Prius makes a great first car if you get a used one.)

    And so everyone knows, none of the questions were to be skewed intentionally, at least not knowingly.
