since there have not been many updates on my projects lately




I figure I will fill the blog with things I, and hopefully you as well, find interesting until I have project updates. I figure I would start with hybrid/electric powered vehicles. My qualm with these cars is that for some reason, hybrid/electric cars go hand in hand with  ugly colors and lackluster design. Honestly, if I am going to buy a gas-sipping, tree-hugging mobile, I still want to have a decent looking car. Cars like the Toyota Prius are very fuel efficient but do not appeal to my aesthetic needs. The car resembles a baby shoe and screams hippie mobile, which may be what you want. I worked at a Honda Dealership a few years back and saw some of the strangest colors on the Hybrid Civics and Insights there. Everything from puke green to really pale blues. 
Tesla Motors got it right with the Tesla Roadster; The first electric car I really could see myself driving.
