Happy Birthday Prius


It's my one year anniversary of having my new car, a green (literally) Toyota Prius. Compared to my last car, this one is a delight. I've had no problems and I'm saving a ton of money on gas. for me the choice was more economical than environmental. The environmental benefits are admittedly a bit more ego stroking than anything else. But economically I'm spending about 30 bucks a month on gas as compared to 50 a week I spend in the old hunk of steel. You're doing so good lil Prius! I'm gonna take you out for a fancy wash!

Bonus links: two fun blogs about cars I like are Prius Chat and Autopia.

Probably my last Brad Pitt post ever


According to numerous blogs, Brad Pitt has influenced Audi to start making a hybrid vehicle. The story goes, Audi was arranging to have a car take him to some Hollywood premiere and he requested a hybrid vehicle. Audi doesn't make an Audi vehicle currently, but supposedly they are going to start now. Thanks Brad Pitt!

Also let me take this opportunity to thank Audi for sponsoring the premiere Los Angeles film festival, AFI FEST. It takes vision and courage to support the arts so strongly in America today.
