Cars? Me?

Blame/praise fajrdrako for this: she succumbed to the LJ Writers Block meme, after all.

So...if I were inclined to finally go get my driver's license, what kind of car would I prefer to drive above all others?

Probably a Smart ForTwo or a Prius if I could possibly afford such a beast. Unless something closer to ecologically sound with similar or better performance levels were to hit the market by the time I was able to decide upon the subject.

Shoe leather and buses and the occasional train still manage to meet most of my travel support needs, though.

You may wanna look into the Honda Insight if you want good gas mileage but not the Prius pricetag.

I also suspect that the Honda Insight is marginally more efficient; it is a series-hybrid rather than a parallel-hybrid as the Prius is.

See the following Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_electric_vehicle) for more details.
