Car Culture

All the articles under Car Culture were very interesting. In the first article about the Hummers and Priuses I thought it was very interesting that the movie stars and singers that make millions and millions of dollars still drive around in the cheap little Priuses. It would be very hard for me to do that. Although I dont know if I neccessarily believe that everyone of those stars only owns a Prius. I doubt if they own hummers but im sure they own other gas guzzeling cars. Its a nice thought though that stars like that are making an effort.
I thought the car described in the article about female designers was pretty cool. The lady who they interviewed didnt really think it was anything special, but then she also said shes looking for a new mercedes and was going to spend a lot of money. She seemed very stuck up. It was also surprising to hear that women are worth much more then women to the automotive industry.
The article about the young girl who got an escalade for her birthday really pissed me off. That girl said she apprciated everything she got but thats a load of crap. She just gets handed anything she wants and doesn't think twice about it. Also the car she got is really cool and everthing but is one of the worst for enviornment and what not.
I definitely agreed with the article about christmas lights. Christmas lights are just an all around good thing, they are the sign of the season and bring joy to people. They also do provide a boost in the economy with high revenue and jobs. Christmas lights should be on every house in the country during christmas time, they are an all around good thing.
