 The odds of this are just almost too much to grasp for here on arfcom...... Her: You drive that big ol green truck up here from WHERE? Me: Roseburg Her: WOW Me: Yup Her: It must cost you a ton in gas every week Me: sort of, but it's diesel Her: Your truck smells like gas all the time Me: It's diesel Her: That is just sooo bad, I'll bet it blows smoke and stuff doesnt it? Me: Dunno, I don't make a habit of following myself often. Her: How many gallons to the mile do you get? Me: It's miles to the gallon... Her: You should buy a little car Me:  Her: What's so funny? save on fuel, get a hybrid!!! Me:  Her: YOU SHOULD BUY.....A LIGHT BLUE......PRIUS!!  I just got up and walked away shaking my head...... |

here's the best one I've heard. while driving tractor, really the only thing to do is listen to the radio. one of the strangest commercials I have ever heard was during this, and the hippies were saying something about school buses being the largest contributers to diesel exhaust pollution. wait. hold on. you're trying to tell me that a school bus that is running at relatively low rpm's burning low sulfur diesel for no more than 3 or 4 hours a day is the largest contributor? where the hell do they come up with this stuff. but wait, it gets better: their solution? instead of sending your kids to school on a bus, carpool with your neighbors. and I heard this while driving a tractor with a 9 liter diesel engine burning high sulfur diesel at 2200 rpm's for at least 10 hours a day. their stupidity never ceases to amaze me. |

I'm telling you, your best defense in this town is avoid engaging in open conversation until you have a chance to feel someone out. The retard hippies are easy to spot, because they never shut up. Look for other people that are sitting quietly and shifty-eyed. They are your allies.

You should reminder her that the Toyota prius tied with the Hummer H2 in the amount of environmental inpact per mile in the Dust to Dust report. Then ask if she is able to grow a brain, or does she intend to keep letting someone else tell her what to think and do?

Allow me to translate for you.
Her: (with all the fluff filtered out) "I think you could be kinda cute, if I can change everything about you. I think I'll start with your car." What's next? "Have you ever worn you hair (in someway you probably have NEVER worn your hair)" "I think contacts (or glasses if you have contacts now) would look good on you." "Have you ever watched/listened to/read (insert new age B.S. here)? It changed my life." To badly quote "Freaks and Geeks" "Their music sucks, but their chicks are hot." Good luck tomorrow. |

I had sort of a similar conversation but from the opposite side: I park my Civic Hybrid and a lady comes up to me and says “Thank you for driving a car that’s so good for the environment.”. I turned to her and said “Lady I couldn’t give a f**k about the environment. My wife travels between Portland and The Dalles for work and we’re saving money on gas. “. That was the end of that conversation.

Let her know that a Prius is Japanese. The profits go to Japan. Japan buys virtually all of its oil in the Middle East and also does 1/3 of it's trade with China which also buys almost all of its oil from the Middle East. Tell her China is on track to pass us up in industrial waste very soon. Ask her how buying a POS Japanese feel good car is any good for the environment at all.

If I am reading this right, a Ford Mustang is more environmentally friendly than a hybrid. So the environmentalist designed car is actually a bigger waster of resources than a muscle car

Oh yeah.. Just remind her of the ecological damage done to the environment by mining for the nickel used in the batteries for that Prius. Not to mention the disposal afterwards.
Yep.. You really do get something for nothing. And food just "appears" in grocery stores. |

I absolutely do not have the patience, or the time to start that argument with her......let alone the fear of listening to how I am making ice caps melt and such. And I won't even tell you guys what she said after I told her it cost me $120 to fill up my tank today up here......... |

I think you should at least give educating her a try.
Even if you feel it's a waste of time it might make for entertaining reading for the rest of us.
If it was about spending money on terrorism or something you definitely need to give her an educational intervention. |

I'll consider it  Depends on my level of patience
Nope, not that far fetched.......more along the lines of $120 x 10 worth of damage to the enviroment. My reply was something along the lines of..."I wonder how many dinosaurs it took to fill up my tank today?" If I kill a buck the last week of season, I'm gonna pack out his nuts, sack and all. I think I'll hang them on her mirror. Or better yet, fill the sack full of potpouri and give it to her as an air freshener

Tell her that you were invited to the burning man this year and then ask her if she'd like to go. When the initial surprise is over, casually explain to her that it is put on by a group of your friends. And that is in fact a form of redneck vigilantism that is done to people they find trespassing on there land throughout the year and that over 500 gallons of diesel fuel will be used throughout the weekend. Then ask her if she'd like to chip in.

Dude this has gotta be stuck in your head all day and even when you go home. And also i'm sure that since we started talking about you "Hit'n it" You prolly have already visualized it in some way or form. It's natural that opposites attract and this is prolly as opposite as it gets.
