Hmm. I've never had covered storage for a motor vehicle, so I can't even work on mine for half the year. I still get reliable, economical transportation for under $200 pa for parts and depreciation.
I was in the boat biz, where I first noticed that even though races were frequent, fashion ruled the showrooms. Now, I'm similarly convinced that most of the road gasoline burned is used to convey people's identities, expressed in pop art and luxury.
