The Responsible Choice:

I have owned a few of the most irresponsible vehicles a person of my income can own in the past. But with the price of gas the way it is now, it is like most people can not even afford to drive, and if you can afford it, you really should make a good choice as to what kind of vehicle you are going to be driving. Muscle cars, Trucks, RV's, SUV's, anything over 4 cylinders and 36 MPG is straight stupid. Two weeks ago I bought a new car. A 2008 Yaris Sedan. yeah ok, so the picture is of a 2007, but there are few changes this year. Mine is Gun Metal Grey Flake paint. To tell you the truth, its a super zippy car and I have gone 412 miles on one tank of gas. The only thing I am not used to is the all power all the time rack and pinion steering. Usually when you drive down the road, there is a little drift in the steering. This vehicle has zero drift an any little movement on the wheel sends you careening over into the next lane. After you get used to that, the car is a dream. The stereo thumps out some excellent sounds, the car is silent at 80MPH and again, the gas mileage owns. I of course would have gotten a hybrid but they are still too pricey, and with a sticker price of 12.9K on my Yaris... unbeatable. I have asked my girlfriend to hurry up and help me christen the backseat since this is our first new car together, but that hasn't happened yet. I have yet to use the car in a vehicular homicide yet so I can not comment on how efficiently it kills people, but as soon as I do run my first person down, back up and run them over again, I will let you know how the shocks absorb the bump and the bumpers fare in the impact. From what I can see the windshield is angled just right as to send a person straight up in the air with limbs flailing, this is also a bonus.
