Here is another fine collection, courtesy of Cliff. He has been a collector for a long time. "My first car was Wendy Wagon. My Dad gave it to me."

He continues "I JUST got Taylor Taxi through eBay. I love it." There are over 50 cars in this collection, and 65 have been built so far. Can you identify any of the missing ones (hint, one them is really large!).

Thank-you Cliff for sharing your enthusiasm with thousands of other collectors. And before you ask - yes, there will be new cars coming out later this year. Stay tuned - you won't be disappointed!

One of our most active and imaginative new car idea contributors, Frankie, is "once again in the house!" His new car drawing is for a very timely vehicle indeed. He calls it Paul Prius, and it illustrates a hybrid car. A hybrid uses both gasoline and electricity for power. These cars are becoming popular as the public's interest in environmental issues grows.

Why Paul? According to Frankie, it was first to be called Perry Prius, "but since I have Paul McCartney's LIVE 2002 concert coming soon, I changed the name." Sorry Perry, but Sir Paul is one up on you!

Hybrids are clever. They take energy generated by gasoline and braking and store it in large batteries that are under the engine's hood or in the boot. When there is enough energy in the battery, it is used to run the car. This works well at short distances and low speeds. Once the battery runs out of power, and gasoline is used again, the battery is charged again. The whole cycle is controlled by complex computer calculations which enable higher miles per gallons than most regular gasoline cars. According to car owners, one of the nicest things about running on battery power is that the car's engine becomes so quiet.

Thank-you Frankie for sharing such a contemporary and far-sighted vision with our readers.

One Chevron Cars collector, Keagan, has been very busy creating two new drawings!

Sandy City Bus

Sandy City Bus is Sally Schoolbus's sister. Sandy does the very important job of transporting people all over the city.

Teddy Trash Truck

Teddy Trash Truck collects all the trash from peoples' homes and takes it to the landfill. Like Sandy City Bus, Teddy has a very important job. If it weren't for Teddy, people would have to dispose of their own trash.

Keagan's Collection

Keagan also submitted a Collection picture! There are 36 cars in Keagan's collection that started with Woody Wagon when Keagan was 2 years old. It was a gift from an uncle. A lot of Collectors received their first Chevron Car as a gift from a relative. Way to go Keagan! Not only do you have an impressive collection, but you are a very talented car designer as well. Keep up the good work!

Petrica sent in this excellent drawing of the Chevron Cars. Petrica is almost seven years old and has loved the Chevron Cars since discovering them in 2006. His little brother, Sandu likes them too. Drawing cars is one of Petrica's favorite things to do. He likes it so much that he hopes to be a car designer some day. That is an admirable goal, Petrica!

Do you enjoy drawing cars as much as Petrica does?

We are looking for the next game to develop for our Chevron Cars site. A Pinball Game is currently in the works and we'll let you know as soon as it is ready.

The other game to develop this year is still in question. What do you think?

All Chevron Cars games are kid-friendly and use Chevron Cars as their main characters. Can you think of a game you like that could become a Chevron Cars Game?

If so, please type your idea in the "Comment" box below. Keep an eye out for the new Pinball Game!

Eric from Kansas City submitted an excellent Car Idea! He created Offroader the Explorer. Offroader criss-crosses the globe looking for new sources of fuel. He specializes in finding alternative fuels to power vehicles of all kinds. Offroader is a true pioneer!

As of 2006, there were over 250 million registered passenger vehicles in the United States. Of those, around 550,000 were alternative fuel vehicles. This means that only .2% of the passenger vehicles in the U.S. run on alternative fuels. We could really use Offroader's help finding fuels that decrease carbon emissions. Thank you Eric for creating such a noble and innovative car!

What fuel do you think Offroader the Explorer should run on?
