Where are all these Corvette people driving where they hear comments like this?

All comments about my car have been positive.

No one has ever tried to race me.

No one has cut me off because of the car.

No one has flipped me off.

It's a daily driver and I just passed 70k.

saw a relevant bumper sticker the other day :

Thanks for driving a Hybrid ... I need the gas !

I have actually had a prius try to go faster than the 2010. valiant effort but a fail on their part.

Most of the hybrids make more of a negative impact on the environment with their creation and disposal than they will make up for during their lifetimes of use. I've always thought they were more of a 'feel good' idea than anything else.

You're correct. Like so many stances from the left side of the aisle their positions are based more on emotion than fact.

I'd venture a guess she'd be pretty upset if she found herself at the gun club and saw not only my C6 but also a bunch of the other objects of my affections. She sounds like she would fit right with my description of "sheeple".

But she's driving a Prius! That proves it is the best car in the world and anyone not driving one is a flat out fool! Yeah, that type of thinking is quite rampant nowadays

I would imagine that all the power plants in GA. are powered by coal. That sounds pretty eco friendly.

We could have chewed her out for wasting all that lead on batteries when it could be used for bullets...

Default Give them the thumbs up

I always give hybrid owners (especially Prius owners) a big smile and a thumbs up.
Sometimes they will smile and ask if I was getting one. I tell them no, but, I appreciate that they are saving more gas for me. You would be surprised how unkind some hybrid owners can be
