A few months before I graduated high school I got my first car, a car to which this day I'm still driving. There is nothing physically wrong with my Toyota Prius but to me it's not aesthetically pleasing anymore and I would do anything to get a new car - I got mine used, for a first car my parents thought a used one would be better. Fast forward five years later and it's giving me a whole lot of electrical problems which is why I would love nothing better than to get a new car. But here's why I'm also reluctant to give up Lady Green - my grandmother named the car not me.

1. I Fill Up With Twenty Dollars

Every time I get gas I am able to fill up with only twenty dollars. Who else can say that about their car? I got almost nine gallons of gas, the most I've ever gotten when filling up.

2. Loyalty

Even though I want a new car Lady Green has taken me to a lot of places near and far. I got her at fifty-five thousand miles plus and now she has one hundred and eleven thousand five hundred seventy miles. So I basically doubled what she had in a short five years.

3. Payments

Not only would it be sad to give her up for the mileage I get but the fact that I have less than four thousand dollars left to pay off is also another great reason to keep her around for a little while longer.

4. Great Mileage

Ask any Prius owner and they'll tell you that their Prius gets great MPG and Lady Green is no different. When I got her in twenty twelve I drove almost an hour one way to work everyday and would get 55 MPG. Now I'm used to her and like to speed a little more than I did back then so now i get 41.7 MPGs but that's still pretty good considering.
