Default Motoring Hypocrites or Just being Carbon Neutral
The other day I was following a Toyota prius and the driver lit up a smoke (I have no problems there) then on completion of his cigarette he proceeded to throw the Cigarette Butt out the window.
So is this guy a Motoring Hypocrite or simply being Carbon Neutral.

every one is capable of critisizing others but not so capable of seeing those same flaws in themselves...

Mate I don't smoke and I don't drive a Prius so where are the same flaws?
And I know I am way off being Carbon Neutral.
I suppose I hate poser peanuts who do one thing to fit in and be a SHEEP rather than do it for the right reasons and and/or a cause they believe in which in my books = HYPOCRITICAL PRETENTIOUS KNOB END.

I say get over it. There are bigger problems in the world without picking on prius owners for littering.
