168. You worked at reading weather and topagraphical studies until you came up with that route that allows you to go downhill both ways with a tailwind.

169. There's the short way home and the downhill way home, and to you, it's a no brainer.

170. You drive yourself to the hospital rather than risk someone else wrecking your MPGs.

171. When someone asks about your day, you talk about your commute and your MPGs rather than work.

172. You always try to sneak up on people in steath mode. All the time. Even at a drive through window.

173. Even at low speeds you have the windows up. Not for aerodynamics, but to keep the loud engine noises of the people around you out.

174. The Hypermiler star is more important than any star you ever got in school.

175. When people ask you if it's a hybrid, you answer "Yes, and I don't plug it in."

176. Sometimes you forget that your car runs on gas.

177. You make it a point to read every review of every hybrid in every automobile magazine, website, and newspaper.

178. You get mad at the authors of hybrid reviews/articles who continuously complain that they can't get anywhere near the advertised mileage when there are dozens if not hundreds of greenhybrid.com members in the database who have come close to, met, or exceeded the advertised mileage of every hybrid available.

Speaking of "sneaking up on things," I might have killed a pigeon earlier this week in stealth mode.

I was going through this neighborhood with those "speed humps" and I had slowed down to below 15 and AutoStop kicked in as I was approaching one of the humps. A big ole fat pigeon was walking from the curb towards the speed hump, and I thought to myself, "self, pigeons ALWAYS manage to get out of the way - don't worry."

But then I felt a little something and looked in my rearview and saw feathers flying around. Never saw the pigeon though, so maybe he flew out of danger after getting smacked by the bumper. Either that, or he is stuck somewhere in my undercarriage and I'm going to have turkey buzzards crusing over my car soon !!!

LOL, I was just going to add those two. Exactly.

BEST ONE YET!

(LMFAO)

"29. you think IMA and HSD are mortal enemies like chevy and ford."

Jason, Here is an idea for merchandise, and I could draw it up for you...how about calvin pissing on IMA and Calvin pissing on HSD logos. Lol, that would really put us onthe ford vs. chevy level.

I am laughing just typing this.

...most likely a donkey, but if he had to drive a car, i bet it would be a hybrid.

179. No matter where you've been or what you've done, when you walk in the door, the first thing you do is announce your current average FE for the great tank you're working on ("Hi hon, guess what? I'm at 34.1 now!" [yeah, I have a FEH; fill in your own appropriate number.])

180. One actually has a morbid satisfaction at reading that today's oil price actually went up again.

181. An H2 or an Escalade are your sworn, mortal enemies.

182. You open up the hood, and actually stare with satisfaction at the WIRING.

183 One rather hit a pothole hard than slowing down and then accelerating.

184 One is seriously considering adding a roof rack, not for cargo, but for photovoltaic cells.

185. There is a hurricane coming, some people are sure to die and many others will certainly be homeless and all you can think is "Oh great, all that rain is gonna kill my mileage" (HG ).
