One less car on the road.

[1]My old friend Kristina Wong [2] has decided to go carless in L.A.
It may not have been a gas-guzzler, but her vehicle was drinking up the bio-diesel and when veggie oil prices rose higher than gas prices + repair bills started adding up, Kristina started wondering if going carless was the way to go.
[3]Well, the decision was kind of made for her when her bright pink bio-diesel Mercedes burst into flames while she was driving it in the Valley last week [4].
Thankfully, she escaped without injury, but she had to say goodbye to her beloved Harold (1981-2008) [5].
So she’s beginning a new chapter in her life and writing about it here: The Wong Sans Wheels Chronicles [6]
