Girl the Prius is a good little car but you need to get some Bling Bling.

Well for some people, environmental support prevails over any form of money and possession...

I drove a Prius the other day, badass, I was impressed and can't wait for the hybrid RX. Maybe when it comes out, she'll upgrade

I think most celebrities should keep their mouths shut when it comes to expressing their views. Each time they do that they look like jackasses. I mean, does anyone care what someone like George Clooney thinks about Bush's policies? Did anybody ask him to express his opinions?

Sorry to go off the topic but I'm sure the reason she drives that car has some meaning behind it.

Did anyone ask for your opinion? While you may not agree with their opinions, it's still a somewhat free country. We still have the right to be stupid too (for now).

Well yes it does, actually. Stars like her, Bill Mahr and many others in California want to set an example of generates less pollution and reduce the U.S. dependence on oil.

She's doing penance, it's the automotive equivalent of the hair shirt..."forgive me, for I have overconsumed".

Cool

If you would have seen a C.A. 2 show ith the girls on Leno, you'd know the most fun she ever had on a date, her & her boyfried raced a beat up gremlin against another beatup gremlin.

So she likes fuel conceious vehicles... She's still hot as hell, seems really nice and outgoing, and dosen't need to roll in an 80 grand vehicle.

She is also involved with a leading environmental group, NRDC.


Yeah, the Priuses are cool. They're coming out with a redesigned more efficient one for 2004 also. This one will avg. 5mpg more than the current one and allow you to run the a/c with no engine on due to the electric a/c system which is brand new technology.

I'll tell ya', the people that we choose to put on a pedestal just amazes me. I wouldn't look at this chick twice on the street. Makes me wonder why people consider her important enough to wonder why she drives the cars that she drives. BFD.
