    I've quite a collection of these standard "it's not going to save you anything because the battery must be recharged by the engine enyway" kinf of remarks, but I do have one all-time favorite. It came from colleague at work:

    "I tell you, it's a nice car, but the joystick is so unmanly!

    My idea to replace the "joystick" head with something like bronze skull or big ball with confederate flag on it was approved.

    Can you tell us how thick the calluses are on the knuckles of these Neanderthals you get these erudite comments from?

    If someone does find a replacement for the Prius joystick head, please post it here.

    I'd find it hilarious to have a bronze skull or an "Eye of Sauron" in the car.

    Wow!! You live next door to Homer Simpson!!!

    Does that mean you\'re actually Ned Flanders?

    "I tell you, it's a nice car, but the joystick is so unmanly! "

    The proper reply to that is:

    "Personally, I would much rather be a man WITH a 'joystick' than one without" :)

    Maybe he is used to a thicker shaft?
