And it is better that someone else plow my driveway with their 17 MPG
truck rather than me plow it with my 18 MPG truck? Sorry, but that
logic isn't logical.

If you think what I wrote is drivel, then that confirms your lack of
reading comprehension.

You are just too easy and just can't help yourself from responding to
everything I write.

Let me tell you about that Prius. I had the "luxury" of renting one this
week in snowy Wyoming. It's definitely NOT a cold weather car. It's that you
can power on the system and start driving right away...however, the little 4
banger takes a long time to warm up. Aside from that, not sure that
America's willing to give up the rush of mashing a throttle in being pushed
back into your seat. The Prius doesn't do that. I would even think of
attempting to pass on a 2 lane highway. The acceleration stinks! Hybrids are
cool, I'm all about the environment, but couldn't Toyota put a little more
zip into this thing? I would utilize it in the lower half of the US and in a
metropolitan city. Maybe the Camry Hyrbid has some power.

The backup camera in reverse was cool though!!!
