I love seeing what new cars they come up with...not only the gas mileage but the styles. Some designes can be so ughhh...others so appealing.
I just wish more than anything that they would get the gas mileage up there more than just 40mpg. Wish more than anything that they would design a truck to get better mileage when hauling a horse trailer..lol. Thanks for sharing the new photos, Debbie

200 grand
 Let's see... I could sell my Audi, my farm, my horse, my jewelry and still come up short. I guess I'll just to sell my body. wait... I am past the half century mark. Gravity has not been kind. Guess I'll have to win the lottery then.
