And I hate their blue-rich eye searing headlights to.

    I’m interested in your reasoning behind cheaper.

    Your assumption behind don’t need the rest of the year - do you believe there are zero scenarios where the wife and I are both out and about? Perhaps… working?

    You’re correct - we could double the mileage / energy consumption, wear-and-tear, cognitive load, etc. on trips - or, we could not do something so ridiculous.

      I don’t understand what you are trying to say here. I was explicitly addressing road trips, not daily errands. For a yearly road trip you can rent a larger vehicle than the one you use for daily errands, and in the end it will save you money. What is the problem?

        Feel free to highlight this explicit addressing.

        Setting aside, for the moment, you’ve myopically focused on a single facet of my scenario - the road trips -

        Do you believe there are zero scenarios where the cost of potential SUV - cost of potential car <= (cost of rental * years of ownership)? Interesting.

        Even a little more restrictive - do you believe there are zero scenario where the cost of a potential SUV which meets my feature requirements - the cost of a potential car which meets my feature requirements <= (cost of a rental * years of ownership)?

        I am sorry for your limited ability to consider.
