Im too much of a pragmatist. I dont care how it looks or performs. I would drive a fridge if it got 50 mpg and was totally reliable. It could sound like a bee in a tin can for all I care. As long as it got me where I was going every day.
I have only one problem. I drive a truck and a very small car. Almost every day I will drive both. People do not respect your personal space in a small car in any way. They try to run me over. Pull out in front of me. Tailgate me. Pass me on double yellows because I mind the speed limit. They do not do that in my truck. I have had to talk to a few drivers about their driving habits and endangering my wellbeing. I do not take kindly to others disregarding my saftey.
