Stats show students buy cars

Byron Myrick is tired of walking. He's also tired of catching the bus and asking other people for rides.
"By this time next year I plan to have a car," Myrick, Chicago sophomore, said. "I'll probably have to work all summer but it's well worth it."
Myrick and over 6,200 or 22 percent of the University of Kansas students will buy a car in the next year according to a market study of KU done by Belden Associates of Dallas, Texas.
The study also said that 11 percent of KU students have purchased a used car or truck in Lawrence in the past 12 months.
Sonya Jackson, Ottawa freshman,

next few weeks.
"My mom is looking for one now. She'll most likely look in Ottawa or Kansas City." Jackson said.

To illustrate the future of interior design, Strongman says, at a recent auto show in Detroit, he saw a utility-type vehicle that used wet-suit material in the interior.
"You could take it to the beach," he says, "and when you got home, you could hose out the inside."
