Having just purchased a new Insight, everyone will be asking lots of questions tomorrow at work... where's the plug? how many rubber bands does it have?
How many soda cans does it take to make one Insight? Lots of jokes. But probably a few serious questions mixed in.

I will make sure I park next to one of the many 4X4 diesel F-250 or Z-71's in the lot. They'll totally shield my car!!

But seriously, when I first mentioned my interest in a hybrid there were a few people that wanted to hear more about the technology and the durability. A few questioned the long-term reliability, they had their doubts.

I will do my best to take the crude humor in stride and explain the benefits of the hybrids.

My sister-in-law is a long time Accord fan (she's had 3 so far) and is very interested in the Accord Hybrid now that she's checked out my Insight.

My wife had a bad experience with a Toyota years ago, and had sworn off ever owning one again. After test driving a Prius, she was very impressed with it and questioned why I wanted the Insight, and not the Prius (I wanted the max MPG, and 2 seats are fine) If or when her Acura needs replacing, a Prius may replace it, unless some other hybrid is a better choice.
