Driving a hybrid has certainly changed my outlook on cars! I traded in my dream "Colorado sports car" (Subaru Outback XT) so I could take my wife's HCH and she could get an MMH. Going wide open throttle through the canyons just wasn't as much fun as getting a high score (mpg)...

I still subscribe to most of the car magazines and I still visit Edmunds daily (although I am looking more for EV news than GT-R buzz). I still love cars--I just love a different variety of cars!

Commuter car, grocery getter, and summer road tripper--average 10k miles per year.


Winter road trips and ski trips, bad weather commuter and my wife's "daily" driver--expected average 4k miles per year.
