... I really wish I needed to buy a new car. I'd like to have a new-new one. Both my brothers needed new cars recently, and each got an adorable Toyota Yaris... a cheap car that is very fuel efficient.

But, my Neon was paid off years ago. It has just over 50.000 miles on it. The insurance is low because it's seven years old and I'm a responsible chick. Mileage could be a bit better; it gets an average of 20-22 mpg, mostly in town with about one trip to the homestead about a half hour away per tank. It's not broken down on me in years, and even then it was drivable.

I just can't justify making a change right now. But it'd be so fun to zip around in a shiny new eco-car.
