Dude, I'm not scads rich or anything....I drive a Hyundai Elantra that I bought used with a 1000 miles on it (new in my book) that looked brand new for $10,000 cash from some guy in PA.

I did a lot of research...it was a better deal than a Corolla or a Civic, with pretty good power for a little econ box. So as far as the luxury, not really a luxury..just a necessity, I think the gas would put me in debt. 7 Miles? Wow, that's awesome. If I lived closer to where I work, I would certainly consider this as a primary transportation. I would love this to be my primary source of transportation, but I couldn't because I'm not rich. Obviously, tooling around in a hot car all the time would be much better than just Fridays. But, I just couldn't for a lack of practicality.

It will be like flying coach most of the time and every now and then getting to fly first class.
