Taking the misinformed Hybrid owner to a new Low !!
 

I *really* hope this guy does not have a sign on his car that says this:

"You see every demographic across the board come in and buy them," said Danny Wilson, vice president of Wilson Olds-Cadillac-Toyota. "You can't pinpoint and say, this group of people are buying this car."
Wilson has observed several owners of high-end cars - BMWs or late-model Lexus sedans - trade in their vehicle for a Toyota Prius.
Going green - Political and environmental considerations are motivators for many hybrid car customers, including Mikesch Muecke, associate professor of architecture at Iowa State University and owner of a Toyota Prius.
"I thought it was time to show some civic responsibility and say, 'I'm not going to drive a car that makes us more dependent on non-democratic states like Saudi Arabia,'" he said.

He is not only a satisfied owner; he's an advocate of hybrid technology. He purchased signs for his front car doors that read, "Gas electric hybrid, SULEV (Super Ultra Low Electric Vehicle)."

Here's the whole thing:

Haha. I had to read it a couple times before I noticed it said Low Electric Vehicle!

Of course it probably doesn't matter because most of the people out there wouldn't even know it was a mistake.

So which has slower acceleration, an Ultra Low Electric Vehicle, or a Super Ultra Low Electric Vehicle? Hmmm...

The Super Ultra-Low Electric Vehicle has slower acceleration, due to the tailpipe scraping on the asphalt.

A low-rider Prius would have what, two inches of ground clearance, instead of five?

Low rider Prius? Does he have hydraulics on it so the car can jump up and down? :)

Re: Taking the misinformed Hybrid owner to a new Low !!
 

Yes but because of the added power of the battery pack, the car can "bunny hop" with all 4 tires leaving the ground at once. Allows you to parallel park almost anywhere...:D

Bah, I want a super high electric vehicle. I want lightning bolts to shoot out at cars that get in my way, as well as pedestrians. :bat:

Just ask Mike D (inventor of MIMA) if he would consider for his next hybrid project interfacing a tazer with they hybrid cable. :P
