I've had my TCH for a week now and not a single gawk or question. And it's a Jasper Pearl, so it's not like its hidden from view! A little disappointing because I'd love to share it's merits. Then again, I think hybrids are kind of ho hum in Boulder. Seems almost like every other car is a hybrid or bio-diesel of some sort. Just this morning, I was driving in town and smelled something cooking. No restaurants around, so I couldn't imagine where the smell was coming from until I realized the garbage truck in front of me was a bio-diesel.
