Hell I know lots of straight people that should not have kids. You have to take a test to drive, you have to prove you you can pay a car loan, but no test and no proof to be a parent. I look at some of my kid's friends and I can see the result.

You missed the context for the message. It was in reply to Intrus who said "...I bought a Camry BECAUSE I got laid... I was not able to fit a rear-facing child seat in the back of my old car..."

My favorite with my two kids is "well, your older brother tried that once."

To which they reply "we don't have an older brother."

And I say....

"Not any more, no....."

i can understand why one would chose the prius over the tch, as i had a prius before i switched to the hycam. i had an suv that got 16 mpg before the prius and was spending $60-$80 at each fill up before the gas prices went through the roof. the prius was wonderful and i had the top package as well. i began to miss some of the things that my suv had, such as a sunroof, heated seats, etc... i decided to make the switch to the hycam and i must say...it is the perfect fit for me! my love affair with it continues over a year later...

LOL

Yes, that's what I said... in response to something like... "a Prius or a TCH isn't going to get me laid"

Anyway.. The wife is 14 weeks now, and my daughter is almost 4.

As with any situation, you pick the right tool for the job. The originator is sounds fairly young with an active outdoor type lifestyle that would suit the more durable appointments of the Prius. Me, I'm older, with family and the wife likes the way the TCH feels. As with any situation, YMMV. Your "Job", your "Tool". Now, if some politicians would figure that out... But I digress.
