Rolls is a nice car but leaves a horrible carbon footprint.
I suggest buy a 2007 Prius.

With gas approaching $5.00 a gallon and no end in sight, who in their right mind would want a vehicle that costs (my estimate only, you understand) $1.oo a mile to drive?
Get a 30+ mpg vehicle for a lot less and be able to afford to drive it as well. After all, isn't that why we own them, to drive them?
