[Blindtlk] To Drive or not to Drive: that is the question

[Constance Canode]

I would love to drive, but somehow taking out a second, third and 
fourth mortgage on my house to be able to afford the car that will 
obviously cost more than the average car isn't feasible.  Sad but 
true, I would imagine that many of us, even if this happens in our 
lifetimes, will not be able to afford the cars.
