Other than that, I found this post to be rather offensive in addition to ignorant.

I use my Ford Ranger (23mpg) both off road and for hauling the things in daily life, but according to your criteria, I should be charged an additional $100,000?

Not to mention I know at least two mothers of 3 children with vans who use them because they are the best way they've found to transport a large family along with all their posessions.

But because that isn't you or yours, they are

Well, I guess I better leave it at that or I'll get kicked off of TFP for what I want to say next to you, James T. Kirk.


Have a good day.
