I have a Prius and as I get 45 miles per gallon (and get to skip the smog check) I forgive it for being such a snooze to drive. Harder to make peace with are fellow hybrid owners who, publicly gloating, put the pious into Prius.

My engine, when it's doing its green thing, quietly purrs. For this driver, though, I'm pretty sure the sound is neener neener neener.
