This is my new car. It is a 2010 Kia Soul plus. I picked it up on Friday from the new Team Kia dealership in Bend. One month to the day after the insurance company closed the claim on the car I broke backing into Brother Todd's pickup. My old baby was totaled, didn't even scratch the rust on Todd's truckThis is the back end of the car
My new car and my 131/2 year old Sasha. Guess who doesn't get to ride in the new car!

Todd and I did a great deal of research, pricing and traveling to figure out which car "I" wanted. This was not the first choice, but I'm very happy with the decision. Of course, I'll have to live with it for a long time. It has really cool tech things like bluetooth giving hands free cell phone use, volume control in the steering wheel and a USB port in the dash. It came with 3 months free of Sirius Satellite radio.

So, a new link to check out if you are wanting to follow gas economy on your own vehicle:
http://www.fueleconomy.gov
You can set up an account and enter your millage, gallons and cost of gas. It tracks how you drive (stop & go vs. highway) and then you can compare how your millage compares to others. There are only 2 other Souls on it (Florida & Missouri, so it will be interesting to see how those drivers compare to me for gas usage.
