Heard rumors that you could drive Hybrid vehicles in the HOV lanes around Atlanta. So I went and test drove a Civic Hybrid as they are not selling near as well as the Prius (looked at them too, way overpriced with the amt they are charging over sticker) and figured I could get a good deal. 19K flat. Typical Honda goodness on the inside. Everything was so tight and made sense. Everything felt solid. Had that great door closing sound that Honda is known for.
The gauges that measure the battery power and tell you whether the gas engine is either being assited by or charging the battery are mesmerizing. Couldn't take my eyes off of them. Plus the gas engine shuts off at a stop if the AC is off and not needed at the time. Then kicks back on the milisecond that your foot lifts off of the brake.
Very small car, smaller than I remember Civic's being. I would have gotten used to it, but my Altima felt 3x larger. The pick up was surprisingly good for only having 90hp (I think) and the batt assist. Can't really complain too much when you are getting 48mpg in the city and 46 on the highway.
But then I called the Georgia DOT and they told me that I can't take a Hybrid in the HOV by myself, so i'm not buying it.

he asked the lady at the dealership rather he can spank her monkey on the hood of the honda and she declines but the fat dealership owner says sure so Mark tried his best to make it look like a gay epeisode of bang bus

Buy a 89 CRX HF, that thing gets like 40/50 miles a gallon and is cheap.

Fuck hybrid, go diesel. Waaaaaaaaayyyyy more torque, slightly less miles to the gallon, cheaper in some cases, and almost as clean.
Also you can make your own Bio-Diesel at home, at a quarter of the cost at the pump.
Used or fresh vegetable oil (strained with a coffee filter or cloth)
Red Devil Lye
Methanol (dry gas methanol found at automotive racing stores)
Isopropyl Alcohol (For tests. Use 99% IPA.)
Eyedropper (or other type of 1 milliliter dropper)
PH paper (available at drug stores) to test foracidity.
They also sell a kit for making your own Bio-gas.
Linear Mode
