I buy a car for the purpose of getting me from point A to point B safely. I have been in sales my entire working life and, on occasion, have had to rent a car to get from the airport to customers. I remember one of my rentals, a red 280Z, that was offered to me as they didn't have the car I had requested. Wow, I got more unwanted attention than I had ever thought about! Sooooooo not for me! I think the advertising industry has done a fantastic job promoting the automobile .

A very wise financial adviser once told me never to invest "good money" in "rolling stock".
