[Christ]

I prefer simplicity... less to go wrong.

If simplicity is what gets me the best gas mileage, then it's a win-win for me.

There are certain things that I do believe most people would be completely uncomfortable without... such as stereos and the like.

I don't agree that you should never have passengers... that just means those people have to find another way to get somewhere, which actually burns MORE fuel. On that same note, I don't agree that people NEED SUV's for every drive they need to make. In fact, I believe that "modern" cars make people WAY too comfortable, and they likely are paying less attention to what needs to be minded.
