telling you something you didn't know...

i have been entertaining the idea of buying a hybrid vehicle for some time. i know. this is one of my dirty little secrets i only talk to myself about at the gas pump, in traffic, masturbating in the shower i mean... who wrote that??

anywho - i am not talking about a Prius or a hybrid Civic, what sparked my interest was the Ford Escape. it basically got me thinking about hybris SUV's or even trucks for that matter.

i know what you are thinking, hybrid SUV's would be a contradictory in terms, and you would be right, but think about this. sitting in traffic in my 6800lb Tahoe. that engine does not need to be running. or cruising at 65mph down the toll road, just need to maintain at that point. those two instances when i could shut off that massive V8 would save me $100/mo.

then i saw this on AutoBlog. Toyota has made a step in the right direction. a hybrid/V8 powertrain. that is respectable. so if you are getting called a tree-hugging hippie by the Dodge next to you, you will not look like a total wuss when you slam on the gas and ol V8 lights up. then you can flip him the bird as you pass him at the gas pump, with your new Moomba from all the money you saved.

either way, this is something i can get behind as a gas guzzling suv driver.

not a sermon, just a thought...

you would be the only person on the planet driving a hybrid with an NRA sticker on it. although i must say the idear of a big ass hybrid truck, i can get behind that too.
