Many turf products carry a 10yr warranty, with claims of up to 25 years of usable life. Perhaps the technology has improved since you last looked.

Oh, hey, I just saw your comment about women. I have put up with too much in the past and it did not work out. I fear that now, I am not willing to put up with enough, but I can totally imagine meeting a woman that seems perfect in every way, then she tells me to jump in her big SUV, drives somewhere at 80 MPH, and I call her the devil!

I have found that younger women, like men, are more malleable and willing to try different ways of doing things. I dated an attractive 20 year old once that would have let me get away with murder... 2 months ago I married a 28 year old that fits my personality and lifestyle like a glove. She didn't pay any attention to fuel economy before she met me, but now she is getting very close to the same mpg that I achieve, even though I've had 3 years to learn my car. Not only that, but she didn't even know how to drive a manual just 6 months ago.
My point is that there is a woman for every type of man; you just have to find her. It also helps to not be a curmudgeon yourself. I have curmudgeony tendencies myself, so it's something I make a point to improve.
