Will i be able to drive my crz in the HOV lane by myself like i see people in insights and priuses? I have to deal with traffic and sometimes the HOV lane is alittle quicker, anyone have a clue?

It depends upon where you live. In California for example, only a specific number of hybrid decals were issued, and there are no more to be had. Not all states have HOV lanes, and those that do, have regulations for their state only.

I'm glad part of the HOV lanes of south Florida's I-95 are pre-paid toll roads... Helps a bunch when there's traffic and you're flying by everyone at 85mph

Applications will be taken over the phone, by calling the State Department of Motor Vehicles toll free (518) 486-9786, Option 7. Upon application approval, DMV will mail stickers with instructions to registered vehicle owners.

no way in hell it's gonna qualify. if the insight doesn't make it (misses by 2mpg) the crz is rated less and will not make it either.

Thats fine, i didnt really want the stickers to mess up my all black theme, as soon as i get the Z im heading right home and de badging the bitch, and then to get the rims black powder coated. so the stickers would stand out to much, but if i was able to then i would have to try and get away with keeping the stickers in the glove box so when a cop pulls me over for being in the HOV lane with no passenger or stickers i could show him them but that doesnt seem to be the possible case. ROCK ON!
