I'd drive a **** box 80's Civic before a Prius. At least I'd get laughed at less in the Civic.

I would love to drive a hybrid or electric vehicle for my daily driver while the Camaro plays the role of weekend warrior.

The problem is most if not all of them look like retard cars! No need to explain further...

Make a sporty looking hybrid car and I will buy.

If anyone wants to get better MPG than a hybrid, without looking like a ***, they should look into my daily driver.

06 Turbo Diesel Jetta. Just put a 3" downpipe and straight 3" on it. Sounds like a cummins, looks like an audi, gets 50 mpg.

Under the TX VW state law. Pictures of exhaust pipe that big require a sound clip.

As soon as I get one I'll post it.

It sounds like a cummins at WOT and at part throttle you get a ton of turbo whistle.

Prius FTL.

Diesels are pretty awesome, but with diesel costing almost a dollar more per gallon in my area you're not really gaining anything...
