The comments on the website are precious. "Well, at least they are TRYING!" Right. You drive 50 miles in your hybrid then fly halfway around the world to go to a party or your job. If they were "trying", they would move to a small house in a middle-class neighborhood and get a job at a store within walking distance.
BTW, DiCrapio actually flies commercial, they said.
Priceless! The I guess idiot (no offense) thinks he's a superior being since his car consumes fewer "lives per gallon" than a Hummer, with no regard for the "lives per gallon" it does cost. Thanks for the laugh!
Cheers
Please, they mention Brad Pitt? We see numerous pictures of he and his girlfriend in their Land Rovers, Tahoes, airplanes, etc.
Thanks. Now would you explain it to Razorback Bert?
ROTFL!!!
Hey, don't you get the joke?
Most Ferrari owners that I know have a stealth car but hardly a Prius. Normally it's a Benz or an SUV.
"If they were "trying", they would move to a small house in a middle-class neighborhood and get a job at a store within walking distance.'
What's wrong with having an apartment over the store? Just kidding.
Both my husband and I are republicans, he drives the Prius, I drive the minivan. He likes being able to get into the carpool lane to get to work. When you live in SO California, being able to do so is a plus, not to mention that we get so much smog in the summer that if driving a hybrid will help cut down on the smog, then he's happy to do so.
Seems to me that some people here think that those of us who have a hybrid in the garage are tree huggers, we're not, but I try to do my share, and yes, I also recycle.
Frankly, some people can cost justify a private jet at some point due to the cost of time. That's an accounting deal. I aspire to have that problem and screw the enviro weenies who want to make me feel bad.
I just wouldn't have any kind of remote thought telling people they should drive a Prius though while I'm flying private or driving a Ferrari.
Ouch.
Nope. Penis. 'Nuff said.
My brother has a Prius but he also has a bunch of other rolling stock, like a '40 Pontiac, a minivan, a tractor, a plow truck, a 4-wheeler and one of them Isuzu Grand Viagras.
Oops. Ain't an Isuzu. It's a Suzuki.
Who wants to bet their publicists tell them to buy these cars and be seen driving them around town and to award shows. That it will generate plenty of positive PR with the greenies and their fan base.
How about a bumper sticker that says
If you have a private jet
Don't lecture me about my SUV.
Might be a good sticker for Beverly Hills.
I'm sure freepers can come up with some more concise ones.
Have you given any serious thought to disowning him?
Oh yeah. It doesn't help things that I work for an evil oil company.
We can't write or email without it turning into a brawl. The best strategy has been to avoid contact if at all possible.
My mother is going to trade her Buick for one. Gas milage is the big draw for her too. She is used to rather large cars so I think she will be in for a shock at how close the quarters will be.
One word hipocrites
