I come from a long line of mechanics and I've been somewhat "afraid" of the Hybrids. Well, after putting over $100 worth of go-go juice in my 14 mpg Tundra for the last time, I decided to check them out.

I ended up with a Camry Hybrid and actually love the thing. We're averaging 39 mpg a tank with 90% city driving. It's freaking nice.

I thought about a VW diesel, but as I said, I come from a long line of mechanics and we specialize on the German models. I still remember the days of the diesel rabbit trucks literally blowing chunks of the head off instead of just cracking. Still, a VW diesel would have been my second choice.

I simply couldn't turn down the deal on the Camry.

If you guys ever want a Toyota, please contact Doug Moreland at Mt. States and tell him James sent ya. He's like buying a car from a friend and has always given me the best deals.

I gotta stop drinking before hopping online! I'm rambling...
