    Absolutely right Donee, Kyle Orton does indeed drive a Prius and he is a big defender of the environment. Perhaps better qb's are in the nfl but none is as responsible.

    Yeah, I took some ribbing at work the day after buying the car. Said I should have bought something sporty.

    At least it's unmistakable and has the attention of a great many people.

    I bought mine a week after a co-worker bought a H3. The jabs were relentless at first but now there are three in the lot. (company of 100).
