General Hybrid News If a deal exists, there's always a crook trying t o take advantage. San Josean Martha Denning reports that someone this we ek swiped the hybrid'' nameplate off her Honda Civic gas/electric car. I assume,'' she assumes, it's to put on a regular Honda Civic if th e carpool law passes or to park free in San Jose. Neithe r have there been reports of crooks pilfering Prius'' markers off Toyo ta hybrids. But we do sell them in our parts department,'' notes Mark Feldman of Stevens Creek Toyota, who adds that he hopes the labels aren' t being used in an attempt to get around parking or freeway restrictions . California's carpool lanes aren't yet open to solo hybrid driver s and wouldn't be until 2006 at the earliest, advises colleague Gary M r Roadshow'' Richards. And while San Jose does let hybrids park free in city lots and at meters, that only applies to hybrid vehicles bought in the city and it takes a permit (owners can apply by calling (408) 277-4 304). That bums longtime resident Denning, who bought her hybrid in Frem ont -- before San Jose's buy-here policy went into effect. A good park ing policy,'' suggests fellow driver Jill Boone, would be one that all owed any vehicle that gets over 40 mpg to park for free, regardless of w here it is purchased or even registered.
