Only having one car is a major pain since Nancy and Tyler have so many appointments and therapies.

The other day we decided to take some time and go see if we could rectify the situation.
That lead us to our new purchase….

A 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid!

Now for those that know me well, you know I have a deep issue with hippies, so you might be saying “YOU got a hybrid???”
Well I can assure you that there is ‘Nothing Hippie About It’!

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any problem with helping the environment, but that is just a bonus for me having a hybrid.
The main reason for the hybrid is simply the gas mileage!

My round trip commute to work is 78 miles!
Getting 40 MPG instead of the 14-17 MPG in the Jeep is the reason for the hybrid!
That means the round trip commute takes 2 gallons instead of 5.2 at 15MPG!

The car has 6 disc MP3 changer in dash, bluetooth hands-free phone connection, tinted windows, and they will be coming out to install Lo-Jack in it.

To make things even better we have fixed my credit enough that I was able to finance the car alone!
