Add to this the lack of acceleration on freeway on-ramps, and I’m a statistic waiting to be tolled. (Death toll)
Additionally, I can’t have more than one other person in the car, because they simply won’t fit, and I can’t go on a shopping spree, because any significant purchases won’t fit in the car either.
So I have come to the conclusion that most folks who own hybrids must also have a “Real Car”, as their primary mode of transportation. I’m hoping that (Almost) everyone here will chime in, and tell me what their “Real Car” is:
So, What is your real car?

I think you question has validity. I am sorry others on this site don't see it.
I have many different vehicles in my stable. I collect different automobiles due to their personal collectibility.
I own the following:
1983 Oldmobile Cutlass Supreme (set up as a hot rod and this is shown weekly during the summer months)
1991 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer (set up as a trail rider for fun)
1989 Ford Crown Victoria (former detective car, kept due to family relation used to drive daily for job, plus its fast)
2001 Dodge Durango (used to cart all five of my kids)
I have other vehicles in my stable, but not enough time to list them all
