I took this photo just down the street from my office this morning. Apparently, somebody has it in for hybrids; or maybe it's just the Toyota Prius. The windshield and the four side windows are smashed, sideview mirrors pulverized, all four tires flat, random black spray paint all over it; at least they could have left us with some thoughtful graffiti instead.Who's to blame? Supporters of Big Oil, livid at the impressive, profit-crimping gas mileage the Prius delivers? A marauding gang of Chinese youths celebrating New Year and simultaneously administering symbolic payback for the rape of Nanking on the nearest symbol of Japanese success? This is the edge of Chinatown after all. Maybe it was done by a gaggle of patchouli drenched eco-youths who are confused by their conflicting feelings about global warming on this much colder than normal morning? If that's the case, it will probably be chalked up as a hate crime.
No matter who is to blame, were it my car, I'd be pretty freakin' pissed off.
