I've quite a collection of these standard "it's not going to save you anything because the battery must be recharged by the engine enyway" kinf of remarks, but I do have one all-time favorite. It came from colleague at work: "I tell you, it's a nice car, but the joystick is so unmanly! My idea to replace the "joystick" head with something like bronze skull or big ball with confederate flag on it was approved.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(pepa\";p=\"65609)</div> If someone does find a replacement for the Prius joystick head, please post it here. I'd find it hilarious to have a bronze skull or an "Eye of Sauron" in the car. Wow!! You live next door to Homer Simpson!!! Does that mean you\'re actually Ned Flanders?
Re: your avatar, Pepa: Getting a kitten to raise its hands when a gun is pointed at it. Really Cool: Training it to kick the gun out of the hand, like Sydney Bristow.
"I tell you, it's a nice car, but the joystick is so unmanly! " The proper reply to that is: "Personally, I would much rather be a man WITH a 'joystick' than one without"
