I'm still waiting for someone to explain why I need a car technically

more advanced than the Luner Landers to drive eight miles to work.

OF---You're like me!The ONLY reason that I bought a newer car,is
that,my wife & older daughter,bugged me,to get something newer
& more depedable.I was driving an '83 Bronco11.It was Bronze
with a Black drivers door,mismatched mirrors & jury-rigged,so
badly,that,probably,only I, could drive it.It was ugly,but who cares?If it's got wheels,I can make it run,+ it passed inspection,
every year.My buddy,owns a body shop.I have told him-I don't
care what it looks like-Just make it so it passes inspection! Irish

Because you need to be a happy little consumer :)
