I'm trading in my car for one of those hybrid cars. But they look so freaking ugly. Then again, I think I'm passed that age where I want to compete with ppl to see who has the better car.

The new Toyota Prius 4-door doesn't look bad.

I don't think you'll see a hybrid engine sports car anytime soon though. You'd think they'd get the hybrid engine into mini-vans and SUV pretty soon though.

They'll have to get VERY high before hybrids make sense from a monetary standpoint.

The great thing about hybrids is that they have this little readout on the dash that allows you to see how many mpg's you're getting. It's like you're not even driving, just playing this little game. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw!

Gas prices aren'tt that bad. It's $2.50/gal for premium over here, maybe a $0.50 jump from its low last year. But i'm not really breakin my back over the $5/week extra. Just like, cut back on soda or something.

That's cause they tax the crap out gas there. Much worse than the taxes we pay here.
