Peter Easterwood, junior, drives a 2011 Toyota Prius that he calls the Liberal Mobile. Easterwood had the idea to get a reliable car rather than a cool car. Luckily for him, the Prius offers great gas mileage and little fuss. Boasting an impressive 50 miles to the gallon and an almost 12-gallon tank, the Prius can get 571 miles in one tank. The 2011 Prius opened the way for more smart hybrid cars to be established. When asked why Easterwood chose the Prius, he said, “I think we all know- gas mileage. Also, it's small. It's a little, petite car.” For an urban car, the Prius works exceptionally well. Other than a few small issues, paint and reverse beeping, Easterwood has no issues with his car. 

Joshua Miranda, junior, drives a 2006 Chevrolet (Chevy) Equinox, sports edition. He has named his car Steve. The Chevy Equinox carries a five-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. In stock, it has a CD player radio. However, it has no direct AUX port. It holds a humble 17-gallon tank, which can get about 18 miles to the gallon. Unfortunately, most of these aspects have been lost in Miranda’s car. According to Miranda, “My tires are bald. It has a mold issue. I lost all my coolant, and the doors don’t lock.” The mold issue is so bad in the car that Miranda theorizes that it should be classified as a biohazard. The car also has an unstable battery. Miranda plans to “drive it to school and leave the keys in the ignition.” Luckily for Miranda, another car has made its way into his life. 

Nathaniel Lee, senior, drives a 2007 Jeep Patriot. The Patriot was inherited from Lee’s older brother, and it came with the name Steve Rogers. Holding a 13.6-gallon tank and about 22 miles to the gallon, the Jeep Patriot is a pretty reliable car. One of the major perks of Jeep cars is their ability to go off-roading. While the Patriot lacks in comparison to other Jeep models, it can still take on challenging terrain. Much more interesting are the personal touches Lee has added to his car. According to Lee, “There is a little red button that says fire missile on it. It goes into the car’s cigarette thing and this is how I keep from getting road rage.” What the Patriot lacks in engine power, it makes up for in aesthetics. It boasts a seven-slot grille and a sturdy rectangular body. Additionally, Lee’s car can tow up to 2,000 pounds. For such a beast of a car, it drives quietly and has great suspension common in all Jeeps. Lee has not had too many issues with his car.
