Hybrid Cars are a sham!
Hybrids pollute 3 times as much as a well tuned used car.
Hybrids pollute with petroleum, battery banks, and the byproducts of
producing a new car.
My 16yr old car gets better mileage, produces lower emissions, and
cost me 5% of the price for a new hybrid.
DON'T by hybrids!

Star Wars is adolescent nonsense; Close Encounters is obscurantist
drivel; Star Trek can turn your brains to purée of bat guano; and the
greatest science fiction series of all time is Doctor Who! And I'll
take you all on, one-by-one or all in a bunch to back it up!
-Harlan Ellison

The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's
unfamiliar territory.
