Default Re: how do you guys respond to..

Speaking of Prii mention how they get all that nickel (about 5 pounds i think)by strip mining and outright raping the country side, whereas our truck takes about 3 ounces. If you want to be green why not buy a chevy Aveo or scion that delivers the same fuel economy as a prius without all the heavy metals needed. Not to mention they cost about half as much to recycle once you've decided that yeah, "A Hummer really is what i want." Also why not ask the citizens of Sudbury why they're bringing a lawsuit against the nickel mine? They'll probably tell you it's because of the amazing amount of birth deffects in direct result of the mine. As far as emissions our truck is already up to the 2009 environmental emission standard. If you run 100% synthetic oil, then you cut your cold start emmisions even more.

As far getting flicked off, I usually smile, wave, and then maybe swerve at them if they're close enough
