PSHHHH..

Terrain is definitely something to take into account when deciding what type of conveyance will benefit you most... obviously, you weigh out the pro's and con's of each plausible conveyance.

Frankly, I'm sure we'd all love to have a Tesla Roadster, or a Tesla FamilySUV (dunno, check in like... 2045), but for the $109,000 you could buy enough fuel to last the rest of your life, given current prices.

Everything is a compromise... how far you're willing to take that compromise to see a positive result is up to the individual.
