Seeing I was working on a sunday the garage was nice and empty and I couldn't resist getting a picture of the E in the new gree EV reserved parking areas.

Sorry for cell phone quality.

Just run a capped cord into your engine bay thru the grill and you'll baffle the green wusses.

Nice pic. I get 22MPG when I drive to work daily. My wife's 3.6L V6 Chrylser 300 only gets 25 MPG.

Great pic! If you wouldn't get chased down by angry neighbors w/pitchforks like Frankenstein, a couple thick burnt rubba eyebrows from left to right covering all 3 spots would be

My diesel accidentally ended up across two "low emissions" and "Fuel efficient vehicle only" spots in my works garage once. lol I think getting low/mid 20's on the highway in this pig makes this thing pretty fuel efficient though?

Seems recently Prius owners have been on a revolt, swerving in and out working traffic, and flooring it as I hear the little Tyco motor whiz past me.

Yeah, honestly wtf is going on down here?!! For me, it's the Honda Insights on I-5 that think they own every lane everytime, cutting in and out without signaling. They've surpassed the sub-compact Audi drivers as the biggest a-holes. They're probably just mad they couldn't afford an Accord.

You guys are lucky. In my area they are still populating the left lanes and traveling at a sedate and economical 65mph! Which in turn makes me "that jerk" weaving through traffic! I do signal though!

In Seattle they do 50mph in the fast lane and refuse to move. There is a thread on 6speed with pictures of the B&5t&rd5 in the fast lane.

I hate them
