Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Know how many times I had to explain to a hybrid driver how my driving a 20 year old Mustang was more environmentally sound than their decision to scrap a perfectly good car and buy a new Prius or whatever? People don't think about the actual impact of their decisions; it's all just marketing and the fact that they want to look cool to their yuppy friends at Starbucks.
