If your parents had to buy a new 2009 or 2010 model car, and they wanted your advice, which car would you recommend? What criteria would you use?

I would recommend a very fuel efficient car. A car that had a very high safety rating. A car that wasn't extrremely big, nor very small. The car I would recommend would be the 2010 Accord or the Civic.

Which map projection is your favorite? Why?

I can't decide on my favorite map projection. I like the gnomonic map, but that is only because of its name. I do like the Robinson map though, because that is the map I used when I was a little kid. I like the robinson map also because the latitude lines are straight and easy to read, and the longitude lines are curved.
