Cars and more cars

With my brother and my cousin both looking to get a car soon (OK, not that soon, but they’re full of ideas as to what cars they’ll want), Ethan having gotten a car this year, and my friend Loren getting himself a new Prius, it made me want to look around the internet to see what cars all cost these days.

Turns out they’re expensive.

The thing that really bugs me though is that I definitely want a hybrid for my next car, and hybrids are missing a lot of the features that I really really want in my next car. Here’s the list of essentials, as far as I’m concerned:

• Hybrid engine (or possibly bio-diesel, but I’m not convinced yet)

• All 4 windows have the auto-roll-down/auto-roll-up thing

• The car has a line-in jack for my iPod

• A power outlet instead of those stupid cigarette lighter thingies that everyone uses for power

• A sunroof

• A sweet-looking screen that has that hybrid colorful-arrows display

• airbags

That’s pretty much it. I don’t even care that much what it looks like on the outside. You could sell me a seatbeltless, cardboard piece of shit if it had everything else up there.

Sadly the only car that fits everything else is, unsurprisingly, not a hybrid. It’s the VW Passat. Someone go tell VW to put a hyrbid engine in that car and I’ll buy it.
