There's a LOT of people who probably shouldn't be driving, actually.

Heh.. I've been waiting for the hybrid SUV or Minivans to come out... then the prices to come down.

Sheesh... try to help save the planet and someone is complaining about lack of noise. *sigh* Can we expect the *beep Beep beep* we hear on work vehicles in reverse to now become something heard on a Hybrid?

Ohh.. I have it.. pick a tune when you purchase the car and the thing will play it when the electric motor comes on...

This just in! Carrots are deadly and are being recalled after a 29 yr old woman was found dead in her house with a piece of carrot lodged in her throat. In other news, pudding and slimfast have become a food group in order to secure the safety of nation's consumers!

I suppose next you'll be posting studies saying being run over by a car isn't deadly, and asking the blind just how much running over it takes to harm someone?

I don't associate myself with any party or philosophy. I go with what makes the most sense, and that changes as I get older and gain more knowledge. When I was a freshman in highschool I loved communism, then I was libertarian... now I'm somewhere between demo and republican I guess -- moderate.

One person who shouldn't be driving is Dartan.... Geez, ever see him try to park!?! For parallel parking he needs enough space for 2 cars! For spaces that you can pull into, he needs the widest arc you can possibly give him... It's so wide, in fact, that by the time he actually enters the space, he's already straightened out the steering wheel, and is driving straight in.
Dartan tells you '*roll*'

Hybrids have one major issue that has to be considered, beyond running over deaf people.

That giant 300 lbs battery sitting underneath the rear passenger's seat.

Man oh man, is it going to be fun to try to recycle those things.

And when you say "recycle" you mean "throw in the ocean."

Most batteries can be recycled, sometimes for other uses. Although, throwing into the ocean will probably happen to quite a few hardned battery casings?

Oh, for people who aren't aware, I should mention that the process of recycling can often create many waste byproducts and causes environmental issues all by itself.
