My point is that each person chooses to spend their money and time based on their own preferences. This is the essence of freedom.
You choose not to have a beater or driver and that is fine. Others do and that is fine.
In the past, I have done both!
I just purchased a "driver" for a friend. He has a large dog that he likes to take out to the country with him on weekends. He was trashing his Boxster in doing so, so now he has a Rodeo for the rough stuff.
Makes sense to him, as it is his money to spend.
To someone else, they might shoot the dog.
It is all fine!
And I love dogs by the way!
Enjoy!
