jason, definitely appreciate the quick response.

military, marine corps; infantry. the comment before was hinting at a lot of the mocho "guy stuff" that goes on. I have seen only two other hybrids on base to date. one was a visitor dropping off a young marine and another is owned by a naval doctor. although the doc has a roof rack on his prius at all times; which i have yet to understand seeing as there has never been a bike, kayak or any other accessory seen.

the base is pretty hilly and there are pleanty of curves; but with the average speed limit of 40-45 mph i tend to stay on base as long as possible; for the beautiful scenary, miniscule amount of people, and amusing stares for driving said vehicle, a HCH '05.
