Guest, avoid major depression -

So the car you can live with is good enough for everybody?

I have friends who drive 90 miles (140 km) ONE WAY to get to a grocery store - or a hospital.

While they don't need 120 mph vehicles, they DO NEED adequate acceleration at 50 or 60 mph to get around the hayrack or farm tractor on two lane roads in rolling terrain, and they DO NEED vehicles capable of bringing home a few HUNDRED POUNDS of groceries per trip.

It seems to be a favorite mantra now:

"Anybody who's not like me MUST BE PUNISHED."
