re: There always seem to be three or four of them in the parking lot at my gym in Albany... and they're all driven by older people in their 60s and 70s. I think that's the (surprising) demographic (though I think it's a bit younger). I guess the young folks are too cool to care about their country.

>I have to tell you......if Toyota has sold only 60k Prius in the US, I bet at least a quarter of them are in Seattle. Yesterday, I stopped at a 4 way stop......the other three cars were all Prius. And then there was me with my BMW. I slid down in the seat. <g> There always seem to be three or four of them in the parking lot at my gym in Albany... and they're all driven by older people in their 60s and 70s. There are a lot parked in the lot at my gym as well but I think that younger people own them as well as older. I haven't really paid attention. What's real popular with guys just out of college is the mini cooper which I understand gets great gas mileage.
