    I am centrist, close to Libertarian and Conservative right in the corner. I agree that the questions were somewhat designed and did not fit all my opinions/thoughts.

    I am not a bleeding heart liberal but if you saw me one the street you would think I am.

    I drive a Honda Insight hybrid not cause I am concerned with global warming but because I drive a minimum of 52 miles a day and gas was killing me. Plus I was one of the first people to have it in America when it come out last year(I know a guy so I got mine early!! ). And it was less then $20,000 when it came out so it was in my price range.

    I always have a reusable steel water bottle on me. Not cause I think plastic is evil it is actually cause I am lazy. My car fills up with water bottles and my wife freaks out on me.

    I am a gun owner. I like guns I like going to the firing range. Although I wish there was a way to make gun laws stricter for people who get them illegally. Cause people like me and others on this site aren't the problem.

    I don't vote straight down any party lines if someone has a good idea I vote for them.

    I would love to own a hybrid.. Also my husband and I go to the firing range once in a while! I DO NOT believe in someone telling me I can't have a gun, because of thugs who kills someone. People who are intent on murder are going to get a gun somehow, even if they have to steal one. I don't think I have ever voted for someone simply because they are a Reublican or Democrat. I think America is the greatest country in the world, even with it's flaws. Spitvenom , want to sell that hybrid?

    Sorry Kitkat that car has saved me so much money it isn't even funny. And not just on gas but on oil changes. When I bought it the dealer said look this car doesn't get an oil change every 3,000 miles it only needs it when this gauge gets to 15%. I will have the car a year at the end of this month and I only got the oil changed once!! And I get anywhere between 46 to 52 MPG depending on how fast I drive.

    If you can look into the Honda Insight they have 2 models 1st model is 19,800 next model is 21,000

    Thanks Spitvenom.. I hate to part with my older Nissan. Best car I have ever owned. My husband has a Chevy big truck.. gas hog.. he loves it. Your hybrid gets 46 to 52 MPg. That's is my type of car. Later...

    Hate to give up my Subaru AWD Outback . But I am seriously looking at Honda so I will probably give the hybrid a test drive at least... But if I buy a Honda it will most likely be a CRV .

    It is a nice car but if you like to drive it is definitely not the car you want. The drive by wire is a little strange feeling. And the 0-60 is like 12 seconds or something like that. But I went from spending about 300 a month on gas to about 80 a month on gas. I like the CRV my mother in law has one. Honda is making a sports car hybrid called the CRZ it is a little strange looking but much faster then the Insight and the MPG ranges from 35-40.

    Saving money on gas would be worth it!

    I am not really a car guy but going from a V-6 to a hybrid took a little time to get use to.

    I had a Celica "75", reddish orange. 5 speed. Talk about feeling like you're 25 years old again. Gave the car to our oldest. He sold it years ago and bought a corvette. I nearly cried!
