Why is it "Hybrids vs Slugs"?

This used to be such a fun message board when we talked about slugging.

And when, exactly, was that? There have been over 800 anti-hybrid postings on this board. In fact, Admin created a whole new category because so much of the General Comment section was taken up by the anti-hybrid discussions by you.

Sorry - there were over 1,000 hybrid comments before then. Next?

NoSUV, let me be more specific

EWE are the turd in the punch bowl.

Somehow you manage to jump into any and every topic and turn it into a battle for the right to drive hybrids on the HOV/Express lanes.

Me, I'm livin the dream, I take the bus to work every day, I work right across the street from the grocery store, I may not own a hybrid but then I don't drive much anyway, certainly not during the week and I have now tried to avoid it also on the weekend, since 95 turns into a parking lot so easily, the cost of this, of course, is excessive, sure am glad I'm not trying to raise kids or support a spouse!

nuff said, go ahead and have the last word NoSUV. I know you won't be able to resist it, and we can close of yet another conversation.

Dr Gridlock also supports HOT. So he's got it wrong in more than one area. Same article where he discussed hybrid hate, he stated they were given the exemption because of fuel economy. Obviously a man who shouldn't be listened to since he can't even get basic facts correct.

Have no idea.

I follow and firmly believe that you drive in the right lane unless passing. The only exception is when there is traffic merging from the right and space needs to be created so either they can get in at speed, or they are going so slowly you're going to have to hit the brakes when they cut in front of you. If you are temporarily in the left and slower than traffic in that lane wants to go, you get back in the right lane once you've passed the slower traffic.

Doesn't matter if hybrid or hummer or anything between. I personally find the blockage only on the way home - on I395 to be from buses coming in from the Pentagon onramp. Inbound, it's also at the Pentagon from people thinking they are too good to queue up in the right lane to exit, blocking or slowing the left lane for those of us headed to the 14th St Bridge.
