Cherokee, that’s another thing that chaps my hiney. In Washington state (and I understand many others), hybrids can use the HOV lanes with no passengers. Never mind that my 3-cylinder Geo can get better mileage. It’s not about protecting the environment (and certainly not about reducing congestion, which was the original campaign promise of the HOV lanes), it’s about handing out privileges to the fashionable. Bunch of elitist [self-censor].

This is like a wifi hot spot that only connects to Apples. Funded by taxpayers. It’s an abomination.
