Why do people by SUV?

Most of the time I don't understand my people buy and SUV over a car or Minivan. Yea I know minivans aren't all that cool but they can do most of the things that a large SUV can do and deliver better fuel mileage and a better drive usually for less money. for the most part the SUVs are never taken off road and the 4WD is mostly used for extra traction in the snow. however a 2WD car with 4 snow tires would get similar traction and turn and stop better then just an SUV. most of the time they are just driven around on the road with just 1 person in them. usually hitting a curb is the most extreme off roading they get to do. the spike in fuel prices show just how useless and expensive these vehicles are.  

Thinking about the Fiesta

So recently I have been thinking a lot about the Fiesta movement. One day at school I was thinking about it as I walked to my next class and some teacher stopped me and told me that I had a smile on my face and how that was a good thing because it made every body around me happier. Also on the night of my birthday party someone brought up the fiesta challenge and I somehow in and intoxicated state said that if I got the car I would take my friends of a road trip to California. The thought of having a new car is just so exciting. I was also thinking about trying to get the car featured on a TV program or something if I win it.

The Worst Car In the World

I have personally always kind of hated toyota. Yes they do make some good reliable cars but for the most part I think they are all boring. Recently they have killed of the exciting cars that they did make like the MR2 and the Celica. They have been replaced by lame remakes like the XRS Corolla. Even the Scion brand which is suppose to make exciting cars fails with the xB and xD. The tC is an cool exciting car but its kind of hard to mess up a two door coupe. Also the Lexus brand makes some dull cars. They have there own rebadged version of the Camry and if it wasn't for the recent launch of there new F badge for the IS model i would say that there wasnt much hope.

Make Me a Fiesta Agent!!!!!

hey here is my video so you can watch it here

Work

So I'm glad I have a job and all. But like I have said school has started recently and I am continuing to work to a considerable amount. It just seems so odd to me. There are so many ppl who are in desperate need of a job and Im working to many hours at work. I have tired to get someone else to take some of my hours but part of the problem is that most of my hours are on the weekend and people still aren't willing to work then and they also have there own lives with stuff to do so they cant just drop what they are doing. I have been at my job for over 4 years and they have always been as flexible as possible with my needs and good to me. Now I am able to do a number of different jobs in the restaurant so my boss needs me to fill some gaps. But it means that i am kind of working to much for school. hopefully this will all soon change so I can have some time off to enjoy my weekends and the fact that I will soon be 21 years old.

My Fiesta Movement Video

So I have finally made my video application for the Fiesta Movement. It would have been nice to have some better video editing software but I made do with just a digital camera. I will be putting up some other videos that I would have like to tie into my video. If you would just take a minute to watch the video I would appreciate it and I would love you forever if you post it on your site!!!!

A Winter Wonderland

So tonight in the Berkshires we got more snow. we had a snow and ice storm on wednesday like most of the country but we got a few more inches tonight. The snow had stopped around 10 and I got out of work just before 11. I was expecting the roads to be ok to drive on. To my surprise the city of Pittsfield didn't send out any of there plows so most of the roads were still covered in snow. To me the idea of snow covered roads is kind of exciting I get the chance to try out a few drifts and stuff. I do still keep it reasonable because I don't want to mess up my car. Im also vary glad that I got four winter tires put on my car. Both of my partents only put two winter tires on there cars. I have driven my moms car which is similar to mine in the show and I think that the extra set of wither tires makes a huge difference. I could feel that the back end was a lot looser and much more likely to overseer. My manager at work also told me that if you get in an accident with only 2 snow tires that the insurance company wont cover it. I also have some videos of me driving in the snow on youtube if you want to check them out. http://www.youtube.com/user/echofro
