Long time

So I realize that pretty much no one reads my blog anymore...and that's ok. I will hopefully start to post again and then maybe i'll regain some of my readers back.

For my first post in maybe 4 months, I have decided to blog about my new car. It all started when I took an environmental Chemistry class in college. Between that and the global climate change class I was pretty much convinced that we as Americans STINK at looking after our earth environmentally. The US produces 25% of the world's CO2, and houses about 5% of the world's population; the biggest culprit- SUVs. I always thought it was amusing in Miami to see SO many Hummers, and SUVs. I mean seriously, where are you gonna drive it? I guess just up and down the highway!

Anyway, I have always wanted a hyrbid. The toyota Prius gets about 50 miles to the gallon, however it costs close to $30, 000. Unfortunately I cannot afford $30, 000 and so i opted for a slightly less costly version. The Yaris....i have to say, I am mocked on a regular basis for my car, but over the summer when gas cost over $4 a gallon, my little Yaris was still getting 34 mpg. BOOYA!

Ok so here's my car...I still don't have a name for it, but I think it looks kind of like a bulldog because its front end is smushed in.

So is a Yaris a hybrid or just a good mpg car? I think it's cute.
