On June 28, 2007, I bought a new car, a 2008 Toyota Corolla S. While I did intend to purchase a hybrid, after test driving the Prius and the Corolla, I prefered the Corolla. While I liked the Prius, I didn't like the back window. My field of view was very small and I didn't feel comfortable driving a car with a larger blind spot. At least the Corolla gets about 10-15 better MPG than my old Camry.

On January 1, 2002, Joseph Smith (my Uncle) of Springville, NY, was given the honor of carrying the Olympic Torch in Buffalo, NY. I can think of no one else more deserving of such a great honor. Congratulations Uncle Joe.
