I bought a Prius over the weekend. Tired of trying to get up earlier and earlier just to a spot in the 234 lot.

Yeah, i know. the law could expire in a year or two. I'll deal with it then.

Until then, I'm cruising alone, albeit at 50 mpg.

qorc...youre a sellout!!! (just kiddin) I tell you what, even the most dedicated slugger has got to be thinking to buy one. I mean, why not just jump on the boat. We try and ease traffic on 95 by slugging. But now why not just do the easy thing like you have done. VDOT and local govt has just given up on doing the right thing. All of the clean fuel crap makes me sick - that they can use HOV lanes. Its all a disaster. But...When in Rome...

well, it's got to a ridiculous point at the 234 lot. It's virtually FULL now by 6:30. I can't keep getting up earlier and earlier. It's out of control.

Yeah, i'm a sell-out.

but I gotta admit - I really LIKE the car. It drives real well!

BUT I think I'm going to split my time between driving and slugging (probably slug on fridays - it's easy to get a spot late). I'll probably have the ONLY hybrid in the parking lot! lol

Qorc,
Congrats on your new car.
Hope you will give the ultimate consideration in slugging cooperation -- and pick up a slug or two as you commute. Good luck.
Keep on sluggin'! [^]

I have NEVER seen a hybrid pick up slugs yet. not even once. NEVER.

but let's be honest. Why should I stop off for the 10-15 minutes it would take to get slugs at 234? Honestly. I'd already be at Lorton by then!

Be realistic. VERY few people would do this.

besides, there is NO shortage of drivers at 234.

My NOT picking up slugs doesn't change one thing there. Not one. In fact there are more drivers than slugs there because of the smallness of the lot.

Sounds like you feel a bit guilty. Never mind, just so long as you pick up in the evening :)

Why pick up slugs? Because you CAN. And you, more than the average commuter, know the value of slugging. There's too much of the "me first" mentality around. I thought this was a community.
