Yeap.....totally agree with you.......about the imaginery
lifestyle or image. But I am a dreamer. Hee hee....... 
Still, don't get me wrong. I am happy with what I am and have.
Don't know about you, but I have
left the rat race and enjoying the comfort of simplicity.
Oh, I'm not driving the Sonata now. I have the Elantra but hubby
thought will upgrade to Sonata. It tested very well. The ride was
smooth, quiet and power, of course. But the 4-cyclinder of Eclipse,
pretty noisy, not as smooth and then gave me the feeling of
"shaking up". And yes, the insurance premium is also hefty.
Wow!! You really "can" ah!!! Over here, to own a winter and summer
car, not only do I need to have a three-garage home, our disposable
income will be reduced to a trickle. The idea is really nice and
there are people here living it but it can only be a luxury for us.
Lucky you, ah, MG. Actually, it is very hard for me to part with my
$$$ and let the car be subjected to the salt/winter conditions. I
may eventually tell you that we settle for a C$20k car. Like
Corolla. Hee hee. 
Okay, will call it a day. Yes, clock watcher making her move.
Hope to see you tomorrow. Have a
good evening.
