Default Taking the misinformed Hybrid owner to a new Low !!

I *really* hope this guy does not have a sign on his car that says this:

"You see every demographic across the board come in and buy them," said Danny Wilson, vice president of Wilson Olds-Cadillac-Toyota. "You can't pinpoint and say, this group of people are buying this car."
Wilson has observed several owners of high-end cars - BMWs or late-model Lexus sedans - trade in their vehicle for a Toyota Prius.
Going green - Political and environmental considerations are motivators for many hybrid car customers, including Mikesch Muecke, associate professor of architecture at Iowa State University and owner of a Toyota Prius.
"I thought it was time to show some civic responsibility and say, 'I'm not going to drive a car that makes us more dependent on non-democratic states like Saudi Arabia,'" he said.

He is not only a satisfied owner; he's an advocate of hybrid technology. He purchased signs for his front car doors that read, "Gas electric hybrid, SULEV (Super Ultra Low Electric Vehicle)."

Here's the whole thing:
