One of my Porsche club buddies drives 40+ miles each way to work. He found an OLD Honda Insight that was getting 60 MPH. It was super slow, and as sexy as a cow patty, but it was stupid cheap to own. He was having issues with the battery pack, and looked into taking the pack apart and replacing the bad cells. Then he decided he made more money doing his hobby business, and he has a full time job anyway. He sold it for some much more modern hybrid econobox that gets him back and forth to work. He can park anywhere, and not care about door dings, and it has the modern bells and whistles.

I prefer my 12 steps down the hall commute to work. Heavy traffic for my morning commute is the dogs in the way trying to suggest I should hurry up and feed them NOW.
