Thanks, Nitramjr. I'm not necessarily of the political persuasion of many of the posters I've read on these boards. I'm not shouting "Death to SUV owners" and I don't think gas is evil or any of that. I would choose a hybrid car because I'm a tech geek, I like the efficiency and cost savings, I like the idea of cutting back on our dependence on one energy source, I like to support the tech, and (at the far far end) the environmental impact.

I'm just happy to see other, er, reasonable people posting around here, for whom a hybrid isn't a strong political statement, and doesn't go hand in hand with ridiculous political charges.

Now I want to go buy one, ****ing the cost.
