Hybrid town

This part of town has mostly semidetached houses owned by pensioners (we're the odd ones out) who spend their time gardening (again, not us - and getting foul looks for it). Not a very progressive neighborhood.

The neigbour across the street has a Saab but his girlfriend (remember, pensioners) has a second gen Prius.
Their next door neighbour has swapped his big wagon for a Toyota Yaris Hybrid (= Prius C) lately.

Today, my next door neighbour parked a spotless new shiny black Honda Jazz (=Fit) Hybrid in the street and was all over it, taking photos and looking genuinely happy. Guess he owns it, haven't spoken him yet, but can't miss.

And there's mine.
The head of the street is a nest of hybrids now

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
