However, I still like the IDEA of the hybrid and hope that with some continued R&D it will become a better choice environmentally.Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322778291206842093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21364284.post-1144985272130478872006-04-13T20:27:00.000-07:002006-04-13T20:27:00.000-07:00I spit at them as they drive by while I'm on my bi...I spit at them as they drive by while I'm on my bike. Literally. I laugh at the lack of acceleration when I out drag them from a traffic light, but that's not their point of owning one.

I never realized how environmentally damaging the batteries are but more importantly, the reprocussions of being involved in an accident in a hybrid. I don't blame first responders for not wanting to get involved if they haven't been properly trained or have the proper attire. I know some people would say, "well that's their job." No, it's not. It's their job to do what they can to save you but not to expose themselves to known amounts of danger. I would have never stepped in front of a bullet blindly... and you have to have the preparation, training, and equiptment to enter a dangerous situation. <BR/><BR/>Now I can stick my tongue out at all the hybrid drivers that think they are better than me! At least I don't have an SUV!!SKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03551536762829444866noreply@blogger.com
