Serena,
As someone who drives a motorcycle, I can tell you - the motorcyclists have always been allowed in the HOV lane, because they drive a low-emisssion vehicle. The same idea is in place with the Priuses - to encourage more people to purchase lowest-emission cars (that cost quite a bit more,) and reward those who do. Besides, unlike with the bikers, that privilege is only good for two years, and only for 65.000 drivers in all of California. Other states have been doing it longer and with no 2-year restriction. After all - HOV is there to encourage social behavior, and that’s exactly what they’re doing with this. As a tree-hugging liberal, you should be the first to applaud it.

As a liberal, treehugging asshole, I have to say that even I get pissy when I see hybrid owners driving solo in HOV. Seems to me, that if environmental, then you should want to cram as many people in that hybrid as possible ; )

Well this is why I live in Paris, where you’d be OUT OF YOUR MIND to drive around the Arc de Triomphe or anywhere else for that matter. I agree with you about the poem. Very clever bit about the cars, their names and reaction to cars as status symbols.

Perfect example of how no matter how hard you try, you always manage to piss somebody off!

If you think you can’t win by driving in L.A., you should try taking the bus. It was probably one of the worst experiences in my life. I wasted so much water obsessively showering after every ride.
