Future Car

Having a ball so far driving to and from work - as I suspected, I don't miss public transit commuting at all! - and I actually timed myself and clocked the mileage today. Half an hour from door to door to go a total of 10.6 miles, in a combination of highways (up to 60mph) and local streets (traffic-dependent but usually no more than maybe 25mph). Augie DeBlieck reports on Hyundai's plans to release its first hybrid next year, so I figure by the time the hybrid version of the Sonata is mass-produced in a large enough quantity to be affordable I'll be ready for a trade-in. :)
