Have you not learned to spot a troll? A habitual one at that? 950 posts or so? This is not a heavily posted board. I am sure a cursor glance at those 950 posts would show that 90% of those posts are smug, arrogant, condescending, and just plain mean.

Leave him be.

For the record, I will not buy a hybrid until a model is produced that is at a reasonable price point for the segment vehicle market it is in. Honda is supposedly coming out with a set of hybrids at very reasonable prices. Hybrids in general are just BS middle-ground stepping stones anyway. "Clean special fuel" my ass, they use the same gas I use. All-electrics are the way to go. They will take over in a few years and in 10 years we will be struggling to remember what a hybrid even was.

By the way, did Matt Parker and Trey Stone interview you at some point about 2 years ago, NoSUV?

I don't know who Parker/Stone are. I've spoken with the Post writers a few times, including Eric Weiss. Also, I've contacted my delegate and others in the region with the facts about the environment and transportation link - at least one said that I was exactly right, but it was not politically expedient to implement the plan to kick slugs off of the express lanes and make them mass transit and hybrid only.

Nearly all of my posts have been in response to the hybrid hate from slugs. I used to post to that exclusively until folks on the board asked if I had anything else to contribute.

Since I began posting, many, many people have said that they will wait until the next new thing for less pollution and better fuel economy. And wait. And wait. QUIT WAITING! At one point, several jumped on the ethanol bandwagon - haven't heard from them since the world hunger crisis.

Thanks - nice post oh overcaffinatedone.[:)] I love that show.

We've got off-topic again ... This "Paying for Rides!" string has become "Hybrids: Love'em or Hate'em?" [;)]

Please, let's get the hybrid debate back into the hybrid topic area.
Thanks. [8D]

Ah, back to topic.

I see no point to offering money to drivers, unless there are not enough drivers. Has that been the case lately?? Has there been a shortage of drivers?
