As an emergency services provider, we rely on the vehicle badging, unless it is obvious like a Prius, to identify the vehicle as a hybrid if it is involved in an accident requiring extrication. I would think if an emergency worker were electricuted due to somebody removing the badging there may just possibly be a liability issue. And lets face it, the TCH is not an obvious hybrid to the uninformed.

Just got passed in Northern WV on I79 by a Jasper Pearl with New Jersey tags (probably going 80, I couldn't bring myself to follow them). That's the first jasper I've seen. I like the color a lot better than I thought I would.

Finally saw my first TCH in the wild here in Albuquerque. I couldn’t believe my eyes, it was exactly like mine: Titanium and it looked great. I pulled up next to it and started to wave wildly, but the driver was looking down and didn’t see me. Oh well

Re: How many have you seen?
Saw my first TCH in the parking lot of our local thrift shop here in York, Maine. It was white. Looked very nice though I'm still partial to my Silver color. I won't be driving mine much for a week. It has the beach sticher on it and my daughter has three girlfriends visiting for a week and they are planning to go to the beach every day. We have seven cars to juggle for a week trying to get to the one we want.

Re: How many have you seen?
Finally, after 2 1/2 months of ownership, saw my first TCH on the road. Well actually it was a blue TCH in a parking lot so I went over to say hello to the driver. After chatting for a couple of minutes she said "don't I know you?". Turns out we went to the same church a few years ago.
I guess we're now both members of the holy order of the TCH.
