oh and... Dude, you have lost the argument, before you lose any remaining dignity you may have I expect and suggest that you tuck your tail between your legs and make yourself scarce.... hero!

I am done with your idiocy and ignorance... I say good day sir!!
You are what.....16,17 years old? My guess, and it is only a guess (but a darn good one!) is that mommy or daddy just bought a really "cool and awesome" new hybrid and little Aces feels inclined to defend their vehicle choose and subseqsquent rights to the death? Yeah, that is what I thought. Run on on up to bed now little Aces, the growups still have some chatting to do.

If you actually believe that is how buisness is run then your either a communist or an incredibly naive man. You may want and believe that to be the case Reg, and heck, maybe that should be the case, but it ain't. It just simply ain't and anybody who is anybody will advise you of the same.

That's not how it works. If the company is cultivating a particular philosophy by catering to "green" customers, they're not going to abandon the policy to appease one scofflaw.

And Kipperfan knows EVERYTHING! So it's tough to argue with that, Reg... Tough to argue with the King of The World...

Just let baby have his irrational, redneck, ignorant, "I am always right", "I can do anything I want" bottle of reasoning...

Some of us, Aces, have real life experience we can draw on when entering into a verbal debate, it is rather helpful. As opposed to just spewing on and on "you're my hero! Your my hero!" it appears JFK has gleaned from his own knowledge and experiences to convey a point, a novel idea hey Aces?

I would agree with you here, finally we find some common ground ehh?

But, if you look at the response in this thread and the overall sentiment towards Hyrbid owners in this province and I have no doubt your "one scoofflaw" is actually a large portion of the cities popuation. I guess time will tell. When the Hybrid spots all go by thy way side do not say Kipperfan didn't tell you it would happen.

LOL.

Companies devote large resources of time and money towards cultivating their "brand."

Unless their corporate identity hinges on catering to ignoramuses, in which case they wouldn't have put up the sign to begin with.

Best of luck picking up your vehicle from the towing company. Let me know if you need cab fare.

The ultimate policy, with any company that is wanting to succeed in sales, is to keep customers happy.

Currently, hybrids only make up 2% of the market. Even 5 years from now, hybrids are only predicted to make up 5%-10% of the market.

The "one scofflaw" is hybrid owners, and you are right, they will not risk their bottom line to appease you.

Aces, you seem somewhat upset? What is wrong? Why can we not have a civil debate Aces? First you threaten my car, then my person, then I became your Hero for a while (not sure what that was about....wierd) and now just a redneck? Aces? Why you do this Aces?

I will Reg. Best of luck finding a Hybrid spot and even better luck trying to have my vehicle moved when you see it, you will quickly learn how companies treat their better customers.

I don't know what's wrong with you people, if you all got coal for Christmas or something, but I'm tired of trying to sift through dozens of reported posts of petty squabbling like my 5 year old.
