Rolled up to a light going north on Sheldon. I came up slowly on my enemy. It was a silver hatch looking Honda. The lady driving it threw a few revs at me. So just before the light turned green I pressed the clutch and floored the car. Letting the engine bounce off the MSD 2-step limiter at 4500 RPM. Boost starts to build to about 5#s. Slip the clutch and the front end comes flying up with a slight bit of spin from the front tires. Grab second. Look back and I have about 4-5 747s worth of distance on this Hybrid. Too bad it was a Honda Insight Hybrid. LMFAO! 
I have been seeing more and more of these rolling around though. At first I was thinking well isnt that nice that someone would go through all that trouble to drive a half gas half electric car. Then I realized for everyone of those gas sipping cars on the road. There are at least 500000 SUVs guzzling gas. Another 500000 cars running around without CATs or missing alot of emissions equipment....not tht I am or anything...

ROFL! You beat a Hybrid! Gotta love it.
Did you know the engine actually cuts on those things when you put it into neutral? Then when you put it back in gear it comes alive! Id like to know what kind of shifting mechanisms they use... typical Honda rod linkage? Nah...Id really like to throw one of those bad boys on a lift and see what I can see. (excuse my rambling
)

Ive actually thought about getting one of those Insights. I drive 31 miles each way to work and 70 mpg makes sense! I also already have one gas guzzling polluting car (4SFED 4) and the Maxima isnt far behind in fuel consumption. Sometimes I feel as though I am misusing earths resources...then I stomp the Go pedal and I feel better
In reality we all should be doing something about this reliance and oil and pollution but I suspect theyll be prying the keys from our cold stiff bodies when that happens.
