They just stared at me and sniffed.<br /><br />So I shot them. (Just kidding )<br /><br />I would sign my name - julian - with my own blog earls, but Blogger seems to have frozen my activities for a few months... no longer able to post there. My old blogs here are ParaPacem and J3Maccabee if you want to read any of my older, immature, vicious rantings.<br /><br />http://j3maccabee.blogspot.com/<br />and the vicious one - my favorite - is<br /><br />http://parabellumparapacem.blogspot.com/<br /><br />So- rock on, brother threeper.Barak Hussein Schmucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6148719993180036093.post-38533705239048391602010-02-10T15:37:02.461-05:002010-02-10T15:37:02.461-05:00I can't say that I've had any Prius owners...I can't say that I've had any Prius owners act sanctimonious towards me. Maybe it's because I have a Honda Insight that I bought in 2001 when Toyota was still TALKING about selling Priuses (Prii?) but you couldn't test drive one let alone look at one at a dealership in my area. <br /><br />So, in my case, I settled on the Insight due to availability and price at the time. It' turned out to be a good buy as the tax discounts AND fuel economy have paid dividends over the years with an overall average fuel economy of 49.9 mpg. <br /><br />Owning the insight hasn't stopped me driving the past echo-warriors and blaping the throttle under compression braking in the M35A2 or making the Rolls Royce B60 in the Ferret backfire (under engine braking, ignition switch off, full throttle for 1-2 seconds then ignition on and back on the throttle).<br /><br />I've also rigged an ersatz PA from the Ferret and played Scottish Military music while driving through hippie town....(24th Guards Brigade at Anzio). ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
