Default Have Environmentalists Ever Targeted Your Car?

I am not green and couldn't care less about my SUV's carbon footprint but was just curious if any of you guys have ever run into the tree huggers trying to damage your car because it impacts mother earth() too much?

Not yet, but in Vancouver it definitely could happen (granted our environmentalists are so passive I doubt they would know how to target anything)

That said, today I was driving while wearing one of my big leather & fur jackets and I thought *where's a tree-hugger in aPrius when you need one*

I remember there being some protests and found a couple of articles:

http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion...on-490964.html

I have never run into any issues either.

Haha the fur thing cracks me up because last time I was in DC three women wrapped themselves in a banner saying "We'd rather be naked then wear fur" or something like that. Think it was in front of a burberry store. It was freezing too.

I've had dirty glares from Prius owners but I just laugh them off since Prius' aren't "environmentally friendly" either. No damage though thankfully.

my other car is a prius... sorry, but when my rover is getting 13mpg, it's nice to get 50+mpg. but i will never argue a prius to be "green", merely efficient.
i'm probably the only prius driver that stops to chat up rover drivers and admire any mods they have done.
