41. You will drive with the engine off all the way to your parking area.
94. You get out and push your car uphill 10 feet into the parking space because you didn't have the momentum after pulling a 41 and you don't want to restart the car.

Did that one last night, wasn't sure I could push the car up the hill as it wanted to roll backwards when you let your foot off the brake. I was thinking "man this would be a stupid way to wreck a car."

A True story from one of the UK members over at PriusChat...he gave permission to post this one here b/c it's just too good to pass up!!

You know you're a hybrid owner when....

95) "...when you get pulled over by the police because you're driving so slowly they think you're stoned" <_< :wacko:

96) Not only have you read the other 95 reasons you're a real hybrid owner, but you also posted more then 5.
97) You'd rather be late to work then sit in traffic.
98) You get mad at other drivers because they cut in front of you in stand still traffic because you refuse to move until the car in front of you is half a mile away.
99) You won't get off the brake until you know you can reach ten miles an hour so you can autostop again next time you hit the brake.
100) 6 months later and you still get mad when you only get 50mpg.
101) You enjoy getting your hybrid serviced because when you go to the dealer, your hybrid is the only hybrid in the lot and you answer more questions about it then the dealer does.
102) You make fun of VW tdi's when you pass them.



And a t-shirt is a great idea. but only if i get royalties. (just kidding)

105) Your idea of exercise is putting the car in neutral and pushing it for 3 miles just to get an extra 0.3 MPG on your tank.
