Cars

With all the problems I've been experiencing with my "trusty" car, I can't help but look around at what everyone else is driving. Up to last year, I could've named 85% of the cars on sight. Now, I can't tell anymore just by looking at a car's body what make and/or model it is. Yesterday, I saw a 2-door nissan altima. How about that? It looks very similar to its infinity G coupe counterpart. Very nice but not my cup of tea. Hondas also seem to have been revamped. The only new look I like is the CRV.

When I worked at the firm 2 summers ago, I thought it funny that all the young associates were driving cars nearly as old as mine even though they were making a gazillion dollars. That's what student loans will do for ya. But while working for the govn this summer, we got to talk to some new attorneys who were driving brand new Lexus'/BMWs. I guess it all depends on where your priorities lie.

So when my car takes its last gasp of breath (which is the only way I'm getting rid of it), I'll probably go for a car that gets in the neighborhood of 55 miles/gallon. Doesn't matter if it's electric, hybrid, hydrogen powered, windmill driven, or whatever. Those car payments will have to get off-set in some type of way.
