    Hate to rain on the hybrid hate parade but there are a bunch of myths about the Prius being "bad for the environment," which have been debunked here: [www.pacinst.org]

    For example, hybrid haters often slag the Prius because some of the nickel used in its batteries comes from a Canadian nickel mine. The same nickel mine that opened in the early 1900s and supplies nickel for the steel industry to create chrome.
    Other than its batteries, for which Toyota pays $200 per battery to recycle them, the Prius is a regular car. So if its manufacturing creates CO2, then so do other regular car factories.

    It's interesting to me, too, that you don't see and read the same nastiness about other hybrid cars like the Ford Fusion and Escape hybrids. Why is that?

    "The sage derivative's leaves have unique characteristics that absorb harmful gases..."

    Yeah it's called photosynthesis. I learned about it in the 3rd grade. If you really want to help reduce carbon levels... kill a Vegan. They're the ones that are eating all of the plants that change CO2 into Oxygen (hee hee hee...plant shit). Carnivores like me are doing our best to reduce the CO2 producers, thereby lowering the overall "harmful gases" that get released into the air. #prius

    20 years later...

    Marking the 10 year anniversary of the extinction of the hummingbird, sources now indicate that the sting from bees, as well as the honey they produce, are now 150% more lethal to the human body, as the Toyorchid, Toyota's genetically-engineered pollution-absorbing flower species, invades the habitats of now endangered species of natural wildflower. #prius

    @SpudMills: If gay people designed these, they would probably look a lot better. Believe it or not, gay people do other things than sit around thinking of ways to get you to jump the fence. (As if they would have you anyway.)

    @stackedrecords: No offense toward anyone was meant by my comment. Actually, I feel sorry for gay people for all the crap they have to put up with. I wasnt trying to stereotype, just defend people (some of whom are very good friends) against what I perceived as a narrow minded comment. Sorry it didnt come out that way.

    Hearses usually have considerable power that helps them haul their heavy load slowly up hills...


    I can just see a Prihearse crawling along at 15-20kph, then stomping it up to 50 to take on a hill, gradually slowing down as it gets partway up.
