563. You tell your wife about adding a backup camera and she agrees, adding that your hybrid is so quiet she's afraid you'll run over a pedestrian when backing out of the driveway.

Scott - I would pocket the $500 for the backup camera and just back the car into the driveway each time. My dad always taught me that people are generally more in a hurry when leaving somewhere than arriving somewhere so I back in whenever arriving when possible so I can just pull out when leaving. <smirk> It still doesn't solve the quietness of the car though - good point though about the camera.

564. You don't even own a hybrid yet, but after reading the Prius chat and Green hybrid boards, you are using pulse and glide on your regular car, cause you know one day, you are really going to buy one!

565. You don't even own a hybrid yet, but after reading the Prius chat and Green hybrid boards, you are telling the car salesmen all about how pulse and glide will really squeeze the mileage out of that gas.

566. You don't even own a hybrid yet, but after reading the Prius chat and Green hybrid boards, you know more about hybrid cars than the salesmen that are trying to sell you that new car.
