Although I don't own a car, can't tell a drive axle from Axl Rose and remain afraid of merging, I have managed to become an automobile writer.


Hybrids, Not Just for Eco-Nerds Anymore

The days of the Bugatti Veyrons, Bentleys on Ice, or at the very least, a good old USA-made Camaro, are long gone. Alas.

Doesn't mean there won't be the occasional car piece. They aren't as sexy, but green machines are here to stay. Don't believe me? Try scraping together enough change in your ashtray to buy a gallon of gas. 

A recent New York Times story looked at how the market for green products hasn't rebounded along with the economy (which is definitely rebounding because rich people say so.) What I found curious is that there is one area where going green is going gangbusters, but it involves a much larger investment than say two extra quarters for some eco-friendly counter wipes.

After all this time, we have an answer. Yes, hybrid cars are here to stay.
