The Toyota Prius makes it way into the hearts of auto consumers yet again in a current survey done by the Consumer Reports National Research Center, with 92% of consumers saying that they would buy the hybrid vehicle again. Of the 45 vehicles that were most satisfying, there were seven American cars that were on list, including the Ford Mustang, Pontiac Solstice, Dodge Charger, Buick Lucerne, Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. As expected, Japanese car makers Toyota and Honda dominated the list.

So it’s that time again, where I have nothing to do. I’m seeking for requests for wallpapers, if you have a request, feel free to tell me. I’m also running out of ideas what to do with the website.

So open up your minds. Hope to hear some good requests. Thanks.

Okay, many of you may have noticed that I haven’t done the headlight game in awhile. This is due to the fact that there was a really cocky person, which led me to terminate the game for awhile. Anyways, here it is for this week. My love goes out to the person who guesses it correctly.

Well, this took me all day to get ready. It’s been the talk of the web this week, with leaked shots floating all around the internet.

So you saw a Smart two-seater zooming down the highway. Small as it is, it really revolutionizes the age of extreme compact cars. But you wonder: how safe is it really? Fifth Gear experimented with two compact cars crashing into a concrete wall. Although both did well, the Smart had a more rigid steel structure, while the other did not. On a more positive note, it does impressively under low speed collisions, in which the Smart was up against a Mercedes-Benz saloon. However, the result of the crashes show us that these compact cars must be used with care when driving in high speeds on the freeway. Because although the car may still provide its original structure, passengers inside the car will not.

Good day, all. As you can see, I am retiring from my computer and hoping to buy a new one. After many years with this Sony, I am deciding that it is becoming a bit too slow for my taste. As I am dealing with multimedia and using high-resolution image editors everyday, I am in need of a faster and more efficient computer. If you’re interested in buying, read on!
