    I suppose "Fire Support" is the guy with all the gas cans loaded in the back of his Prius that shows up to "support" the fire. If you are blowing $100 on fuel each time you have to "support" a fire, then driving a fuel efficient Hybrid makes sense for your wallet, and even offsets a little of the environmental damage you are causing by lighting all those fires! =)

    I suppose dumping a bunch of gas on a fire department is both an event and a disaster! (and probably a training exercise as well!) :-D

    I'm just kidding around! :)

    Early on, there seemed to be a lot of posts about Prii being rear-ended. I suppose this is one way to keep the driver behind you awake.

    Sweet! They seem to fit the Gen 2 design quite well.
