           Hey!  There's a new Chrysler out!  The new 200 is coming to your neighborhood, or your auto mall.  RANDOM CAR FACT!  Did you know that there are only 3 main cars that the Chrysler outs there name on?  They own many other car companies, but only 3 carry the very special badge.    The car looks cool, with a modern flare, but it still gives you a sense that it's a Chrysler. 
          This car can be a great family sedan with 295 horsepower and 36 highway mpg.  It may not be the flashiest car you have ever seen, but at least put it on your to do list to take a test drive in one of these. 
           I found one very special thing about this car that is unique to any other car in its class; a 9 speed automatic transmission.  I have never heard of a car with a nine speed transmission.  Although, I am only 12, so that might be the issue here. 
           This car also comes with many safety features including lane departure warning. 
           According to which type you get, this car starts from 21,700 - 25,995.  A little much for a small car compared to the Nissan Sentra or Versa sedan, but the Chrysler 200 is the perfect little car for a family.  Blog ya later!

           Hi again!  Now, I'm guessing the answer is no, but have any of you seen the TV kids show Phineas and Ferb?  As a twelve year old, I have in the past years.  This show has been running since 2007.  Anyway, you may be thinking why am I bringing up a kids' television show on a car blog?  You'd be surprised to know that the Top Gear UK presenters were ON the television cartoon.  The episode is called Live and Let Drive.  Yes, it may remind you of a James Bond movie, but that is not the point.  I just turned to the show, and I heard some familiar voices.  Then BOOM!  I saw the presenters in a booth commentating on the Grand Prix.  And the funniest part was, they were in cartoons!  I thought it was pretty exciting.  Well, that's all I have today!  Blog ya later!

           Hey everyone!   I love video games.  I also love cars.  (Duh)  So, I've searched around for car video games.  I have found a couple of games including MarioKart games and Asphalt 8 or 7 or whatever.  I play them a lot, but I like Asphalt 8 better.  It plays music from the radio including Animals by Martin Garrix.  You can also race real cars in real places.  My favorite car is the Citroën Survolt.  It is very fast and very pretty.  You can drift and do many crazy stunts along the track.  We have the game on our Apple devices like an IPad or IPhone.  Get the game!  You'll be as happy as if you were driving it.  Blog ya later!

           Hey guys!  Sorry I haven't blogged in a while.  To make it up to you, I have a very special treat in store.  I visited my uncle in Nevada for his birthday, and guess what he owns?  A 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S.  :D!  That vacation couldn't be completed without a ride.  So, 30 minutes past noon, we headed out. 
           Here ya go!  An exclusive review of a Porsche from your favorite blogger in the world Skyler!  My uncle bought it used so I'm guessing it was cheaper than the new ones.  The ride was very good for a sports car.  You could put it into sport mode for a stiffer suspension.  It accelerates well and my uncle's had an automatic gearbox.  If he wanted to, he could put it into a standard type and change gears whenever he wanted. 
           To answer your question, no, it wasn't a convertible.  But, I had a great time anyway.  It was a lovely little car and a great way to spend an afternoon.  Blog ya later!
