Well, I wouldn't want to frighten the civilians, don'cha know.

Seriously, though, I drive it in Normal probably 98% of the time.

Why would it matter to anyone else what mode you're in?

Pssst... it's a joke.

The reason I don't drive it in Sport mode more is because I don't like the way it hangs on to gears before upshifting, even under light acceleration.

I don't like that about sport mode either.

Eh, what's the fun in driving something other than a Prius if you can't have a little fun from time to time?

My story wasn't (intended to be) so much about outrunning a Barcolounger on wheels as it was about demonstrating to the driver of said Barcolounger on wheels that he wasn't driving a hot rod, but was instead at the helm of the USS Loudenslow.

I bet that lesson really resonated with him.
