I remember when you bought your Elantra. How do you feel about it now that you've had it a couple years? I've a friend who commutes on the "east side" in the Seattle area. She had a nice minivan but "needed" a BMW or something similar in order to "compete" with others on the freeway. That was her actual wording. I feel sorry for those who feel compelled to measure up to the expectations of total strangers. Sellers on the other hand love them, as their job is to create that level of self-doubt and then offer the expensive fix. Beemer, Rolex, etc. Or Hummer for the incurably insecure. <g>
