I live in one of the fastest growing counties in the Nation (El Paso County, CO) so I have a little taste of what you mean.  In two years, the traffic on my way to work has become so bad, I have to leave 15 minutes earlier than I used to.  It takes me 35 minutes to get to work instead of 20... and I only travel 10 miles.  :bang:

That hybrid pickup is just as dangerous to other cars as an SUV.  I'm not trying to be nit-picky at all  :cool: , but it's the height of the SUV's that make them dangerous to cars.  A 4x4 pickup has the same bumper height as an SUV.

I'm just not buying into the hybrids.  I've always learned that the best answer is always the simplest answer.  Hybrids are only more fuel efficient than gas engines when you don't have to accelerate.  The gas engine always runs when the vehicle needs power, then turns off when the vehicle only needs enough power to maintain speed.  If you're in stop and go traffic, there's not much difference between hybrids and other vehicles.

I just wish I was smart enough to invent magnetic hovercrafts.  No gas, no pollution, no EPA breathing down your neck, no tires or wheels to buy and balance, no maintenance.  One of these days...  :boss:
