BS, just a data point from here. It was strange reading car culture talk: <
I have the Eddie Bauer also :O) and am reticent to upsize to the Expedition.. all things considered the Explorer is just more versatile ... and has a better turning radius than my Sentra :O) and yes even with the V8 it is pretty good on gas if one drives responsibly :O) I would have liked the three rows in the Expedition but the three seats in an Explorer would be too tight IMO.. When I bought the Exp the salesman offered me a Lincoln Aviator, three rows, so no trunk space.. Premium gas ... !!!!

There is something anachronistic about cars. Yes, they are still very useful for getting around, but it was like going back in time reading that. It's not that I don't need them too. Yesterday I test drove a Honda Euro and the difference from my now old 1998 Camry was substantial. So I'm in the market. But cars are not the centre of culture that they were. Wireless Cyberspace is where people are crowding. The car yards are full of cars, not people.

Pretty soon cars will self-drive while people cerf around in Cyberspace.

People don't go shopping among bricks and mortar now, they click around in Cyberspace and couriers deliver.

Cars are so last-century.

Gold is so century before that.

I have just developed a theory = the average age of gold holders is one standard deviation above regular humans. They are old geezers who remember when money was "real". Or think they can. Young people don't want dirty great SUVs carting suitcases of gold, they want swishy mobile Cyberspace with mirasol screens in their pockets. Self-drive Google cars are good too.
