For Safety’s Sake, Hybrid Cars May Include Artificial Vroom - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
I love quiet hybrids, and it's sad to artificially make them noisy!

"Indeed, just as cellphones have ring tones, “car tones” may not be far behind — an option for owners of electric vehicles to choose the sound their cars emit." :-Q
- Laurence Gonsalves
The 'safety' concern is silly. Most new cars today have fairly quiet engines. The sound you typically hear as a car passes is not its engine but the sound of the tires on the pavement. Until we have quiet wheel-less hovering electric cars I think we can avoid artificially adding external noise to our vehicles.

As a non-hybrid owner, I usually leave my car set on vibrate.

Ok, so "near future" may have been an over exaggeration. The bigger issue for me is the fact that they don't ship to Canada. Argh. I did manage to get an order submitted by shoehorning my Canadian address into the "Address Line 2" field. So far so good but I'm not holding my breath.

The most amusing thing about my car-shopping experience is having to explain to all my friends why I'm not just getting another Prius. Do non-Prius owners get regularly asked why they're not buying the same car they just had (or a Prius)?

Why did you decide not to re-up on the Prius? Just curious. :)
- TonyatMATC
I've been witness to conversations where not buying another Chevy was unheard of. "Why wouldn't you buy a Chevy? That's all American craftsmanship right there." A lot of people believe that they can identify the absolute best car on the road, that such a determination is likely to be timeless (or at least long lasting), and are genuinely confused when someone doesn't share that same belief.
- Mark Trapp
so WHY aren't you buying another Prius?
- Tudor Bosman
My last car was a Lexus, my current car is a Lexus...but I caught a lot of heck from a lot of friends for not buying a Prius ("or at least _some_ kind of hybrid, geez!"). I would have thought that my past purchases would have made a some sort of statement about what kind of car I want to drive. Guess not. My reply at the time was easy, though - "I walk to work."
- Ryan Kaisoglus
I think the question is particularly common amongst Prius drivers. The first time you buy a Prius, you make a statement that you're willing to pay a premium for a selfless goal -- reducing your environmental impact. (Leave aside the questions of whether this is too little too late, or whether Priuses are better for the environment than other cars). Deciding not to renew that commitment begs the question -- what changed?
- Tudor Bosman
That's a false assumption. I bought a Prius because in late 2003 there was no otehr $23K car that could compare in terms of technical functionality. GPS, Bluetooth, keyless engine start, steering wheel controls, and a whole lot of other stuff that could otherwise only be found on $40K+ luxury cars were my primary motivation for buying a Prius. The 'coolness' was compounded by the...

- Kevin Fox
I think Tudor's assumption is a pretty common one, which is why the question gets asked a lot. Many people think of that car as a "statement" or an icon, and so it is harder to understand when an owner doesn't think of the car in that way.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I didn't buy a Prius because the waiting list was too long here.
- Morton Fox
I've often been asked why I got a specific brand of car when I get a new one, and more specifically why I didn't get the same on as I had before. I have to admit, I like getting a completely different kind of car from whatever it was I just had.
- Cyrus Lendvay
Not to mention that the carbon produced by building the battery for the Prius negates any offset from fuel usage for the first $100,000+ miles. And this coming from another ex-Prius owner.

Mark, I've heard so many conflicting reports on that one that I'm not sure that it's not just a big smokescreen from the Big 3 (err, I mean 2, or 2.2 max)

Did you check out the VW TDI Clean Diesel? I've been eyeing that one for a bit. Gas mileage seems very good. Wife wants the wagon... I'm partial to the sedan.

I'm a bit disappointed in the dearth of diesel engine options in the US both for VW and Volvo. There are plenty of fine options in Europe. Not as many here. As far as VWs go, we test drove a Tiguan and I was pleasantly surprised.

Additionally, in the state of California it has been very hard to buy a new diesel car because of the restrictions placed on them. You've only been able to register diesel cars with >7500 mi.

I loved instructables.com when they first launched but now hate how they have crippled basic features to encourage you to register.
Registration is free, no? I think the usability and performance is bad, tho. Somebody should implement a slick instructables browser and editor tool, IMHO. I once tried to create an instructable for the world's best mojito, but gave up because the UI sucked so bad.
- Shea Phillips
Free registration aside, it seems so petty to remove features like "view this image larger". I agree that even with the features uncrippled navigating an instructable has become so unwieldy that I often lose interest before getting through the hoops. It was pretty good before they tried to track their users and monetize.
- Dylan Parker
Sure - the features they require registration for are totally arbitrary and unexpected/random. Also, once you register, the UI still sucks. Having said that, I could still spend hours a day browsing through "how to make a solar cooker" instructables. :)

@Jandy It's a fair point. Perhaps 'hiding' is too strong of a word. I guess I'd like to restrict my 'tumblr' items to only people I mark as friend/family. A per-service sharing restriction.
- Dylan Parker
Dylan, that makes more sense - if you define it as "I'd like to keep some services private only to certain people" that's a feature I can understand. That really makes it a privacy feature rather than a noise-control feature (amount of noise I think should be decided by reader, not publisher, but privacy is obviously the other way around).

I don't totally understand the extent of the separation... From Activity Monitor it seems everything is being run as a separate (browser) instance... so separate profiles? cookies? memory spaces? I downloaded some very nice icons to be used with Fluid by Chris Ivarson: http://csi.nfshost.com/goodies...
- Dylan Parker
@Dylan: I assume you're referring to Fluid instances. It generates an entirely new application for each (really just a templatized application, each with its own settings). This means completely separate processes, each with its own state, cookie jar, etc. The only mildly irritating thing for me is that the separate cookie jars (including session cookies), means I have to login to things like my Google account separately for each app. Probably the right thing in general, but a minor pain nonetheless.
- Joel Webber
Thanks for the info Joel. For me the minor nuisance of multiple google.com sign-ins is far out-weighed by the benefit of web-apps with their own icons, badges, app names etc.
