Pats246 & SOT_II,
You'd be surprised how many whack-job cops there are out there who drive sparked-out C/V's as their personal driving machines. I know of a couple right here on this board who do, and have all the toys in them as well. No need to drop names, you know who you are.
Like Pats246 said, I drive one 8 hours a day, my polyester / wool blend pants sticking to the naugahyde seat, making by chestnuts sizzle as they rest on the pleather. Who the hell wants to drop back into the same ride after completing an 8 or 16 hour tour?
Who wants to be flagged down to / from work by some idiot who just got into a fenderbender or worse, is being chased by a maniac with a knife or gun? Not me. Give me the anonymity of my Dodge mini-van, or as it is known around my house, le van petit.
