Clearly understand this is not a practical option for all people all the time as life circumstances vary but...man...I just cannot carry a note on a friggin' ride and rationalize that expense. Have not been in that position for many years, I like it. But...this results in compromise, at least for me, and right now I drive a vehicle I have little passion for (she gets me up-n-down-the-hill 12-months a year, I'm cool with it).

Good input above gcrookston, thanks for providing the added detail.

very well said.
