Mariel Garza falls off the wagon

... or off the bus, which she's pledged to ride for a month. But don't worry, her car is a Toyota Prius, so she remains environmentally correct:

The truth is, after two weeks of not driving, I missed my car. I missed gliding down the hot streets of L.A. inside my air-conditioned, hybrid-quiet bubble of steel. I missed, inexplicably, traffic. I missed cupholders. I missed drive-thrus. I missed blasting my favorite songs. I missed going where I wanted when I wanted, traffic allowing.
