Niteowl77 and I joke about being "stealth lesbians" because of our Subarus. To be honest, we avoided - maybe ignored is more accurate - the things for years because they were the butt (!) of so many jokes.
They do attract the crazies to some degree, though the locals here who are REALLY loons (the types with stickers that leapfrog lefttard and go right to the tipping point of insane) are usually not driving Subies, but some other SUV... Hyundais, Kias and Fords seem to predominate. We see relatively few such psychological warning labels on Hondas or Toyotas, even when they happen to be Priuses... which makes us wonder if that the Prius is simply just as popular with gas-miserly tightwads as it is with eco-nuts.
(At least in this area.)
One of the area's resident self-proclaimed wiccans drives a Chevy. That sort of thing makes for lousy memes.
Mr. niteowl77
Doesn't really matter to me. I am happy to have them pay a premium for a Prius. It leaves just more gas for me and my truck.
