That's awesome. Even better if we have someone that can say that in Swedish!

At frys, they have "Electric Vehicle Only" parking spots, and I've parked in there to do a quick return. (I know, I'm nasty)

Someone challenged me once. "Your car isn't electric!"
"Sure it is. It's got a generator and a battery. How else do you think I ignite the fuel in the engine? ELECTRICITY!" and went off into the store.

I know I should just leave it alone, but I'm not as good of a person as I probably should be.

I hate IKEA with a passion. I went there with my wife last week so she could get some school stuff, and I almost lost it.

First, the hybrid vehicle parking only spots, full up with Lincoln Navigators (I laughed at that)

NOW they want to charge you for plastic bags! (So you won't use them)
Come *ON*

I was passive aggressive and just left my cart sitting in the lot.

I've parked in the "hybrid vehicles only" section out of pure spite.

While i'm pretty much a lefty, and a greenie, I also have a brain. You won't get me on the whole hybrid car thing, or the Ethanol thing. I'll do things that really matter, like composting, and eventually getting a car that's "green" not only on the environment, but budgetwise too. Hybrids ain't it.

Now, if the Chevy Volt all-electric car looks as good as it does, you'll get me in one of THOSE pretty easily, assuming it's priced decently.
