Shadow Puppet Storyteller

A family goal

I read the details of the Detroit Auto Show, and the opinions that the big automakers still are only rolling out hybrid vehicles as window-dressing. Then the Schwarzennegger editions of burgeoning horsepower and increased heft get the marketing. I want to drive a vehicle that runs clean and doesn't cost me a fortune because, otherwise, without fine-tuning, it only words some of the time.

My family has only one vehicle. I bought it used and I'm still paying it off. It is a good stable car. I'm really stuck on this idea that I have to do more. And by more I mean, drive less. Not beating myself up; I know my family consciously does more than most just by having only one car. Being close to work helps too. In a couple of years my son could be wanting a car. I think I must break the cycle at that point. If there is to be a second car, simply because my son will have reached the minimum age to drive. I may have to insist it is alt. fuel.
