Regarding the H2 Felony stop.. I called a marked car to the scene. We had three other officers show up ( one an H1 owner).. THey took over the scene. Had the young people do a sobriety test, searched for drugs and lectured them on road rage. Gave the driver a warning and told each of the young people to have their parent to call the department to arrange driving school class. It was funny. The other side of the coin, road rage is not funny. In Indianapolis it is not as big an issue as other locations. However many times a simply finger can turn quickly into a violent confrontation.
I believe I hear a little bit of H2 envy from the gas station passer.. Hell my suburban gets worse mileage then the H2.. At least I think it does. Never check it, why should I . I knew the mileage was low when I bought my toy. If you can't afford the gas, then I gues you shouldn't buy the beast. The only other time I had any comments about the H2 was at a stop lights. A young couple pulled up next to me in one of those cute little hybrid hondas. The young man said something I couldn't hear. So I rolled down the window and politely asked if I could be of assistance. THey made a couple of enviroment comments to me My answer: with a smile I said: I sure appeciate you folks buying that little car so that leaves enough gas for my H2. thank you for canceling my gas guzzling, have a pleasant day. Then drove off waving with a smile.. I looked back at them in the mirror. They just sat there with a stunned look on their faces..
