My badges are gone (as well as the "HSD" logo in the back), save for the sole re-grafting as per my avatar. It's just a means to give drivers a reason to curse at me when trying to push me off the road during rush hour traffic (and me not giving in to the constant "throttling/braking" game by trying to coast as much as possible instead).

That said, it's time to get back to the poster's original intent... OK, so sales have been soaring. Anyone want to provide other reasons/theories for the recent surge? Finally some public acceptance of this "new" (ahem!) technology? Gas prices?
