Could have bought yourself an inflatable doll for your Porsche...

Hey wild1poet2-
That might work out in N. Virginia but not in Mass...

Why North America is messing around with these stupid Hybrid cars that get 44-50mph is just beyond me.

In Europe they have a lot of 1.0L Diesel cars that are quite small, take the VW Polo Diesel for instance. It gets 88mpg and diesel is cheaper than gasoline is plus no stupid batteries. Why can't we get that here?

Just on a side note, cant you just buy some hybrid stickers for the Boxster and put some batteries in the trunk or something? HOV lane approved!

Now that would be awesome. Unfortunately here in the states we have this thing called the Division of Motor Vehicles. They issue special icense plates for "Cleaner fuel vehicles" Without these plates on your car, you could get a $500 ticket for breaking the rules in HOV lanes. As for the doll? LOL I wish the police were as dumb as Rosco P Coltrain. They actually have check points going onto and off of the express lane ramps. It's how they make their monthly ticket quote.
