if i've ever lusted after anything before...


i first posted this picture when i started my blog this past summer. i still want this car. it's beautiful. now here comes the dilemma. we're not even talking affordability right now because this is still a little out of my reach. but anyway. i have a slight issue--i would **love** a G6 in electric blue. blue. i love blue. can you tell? but... ELECTRIC blue is only available on the GT model. the 6 cylinder model comes in red, silver, beige, black, green and ivory, i think. boring. at least to me. i love blue. BUT, the GT doesn't have as good gas mileage. not even considering my wallet, i really feel that i should be responsible to the environment by showing good stewardship of available fuels. so color really isn't that important.

then on top of that, should i consider a hybrid? i truly love pontiacs, especially my grand am and the G6s. thing is though, i drive up to PA and down to the DC quite often, and i put at least 15K miles on my cars every year. GM and other domestic companies don't seem to have fully embraced hybrid technology, and i really wish they would; i'm more inclined to buy domestic because i consider it to be a smidge cheaper, maintenance-wise. are there any car-heads out there who can give me any feedback? i'd really appreciate it...






oh, and the solstice is hot. but i can't tote toby in it because he'd jump out the side. too bad.
