Buddy just got the Ford Fusion Hybrid...


First, buddy is a gear head. Races production car events as a hobby, so he's all about speed and gasoline. So when I pulled up to his cabin this weekend and saw a car plugged in, I was somewhat amused.

His reasoning for getting the vehicle was straightforward economics. He lives in Baltimore and the cabin is in Craig County, VA. He can drive to the cabin and back to Baltimore on a single tank of gas. The first 30 miles are all on battery, even in the hills of Craig. Only drawback is when the family of 4 is in the vehicle, very little room in the trunk for all their junk. Overall, he's happy with it. This replaced a 2000 Cadillac that quit on them.

And yes, he calls it his golf cart.
