I can't help but notice... When I was a kid in Northern Illinois, we had blue skies, puffy white clouds, and evening skies filled with stars and planets. Somewhere along the line, we developed Chicago-Gray skies and snow. Since February 2020, the skies are getting bluer; the clouds are getting white and puffy, and, for the past week, the night skies have been filled with stars and planets. Less traffic, better engineered and maintained vehicles, more and more Hybrid-Electric and Full-Electric vehicles are starting to pay off in a healthier, more uplifting environment. I don't know about you, but I would love to see the trends continue

Here at CARS of America being “green” is something we practice daily in both our Glenview and Evanston locations.
