I let him pull his childish stunt one more time and then I pulled my childish stunt; I SLAMMED on the brakes. He let out a tirade of horn honking, but then backed off and left me alone.

I heard of a Prius with a Darwin Fish sticker getting keyed a few years ago down South. I haven't put my Darwin Fish on my Prius, but only because the rear of my '06 is all compound curves and there isn't a really good place anywhere to affix it.

But remember, it's "asinine" to assume anyone would be angry at us for being responsible and fuel efficient.
