My wife can have her SUV.  I like my Mustang GT with the top down.  That's
the best I can do until I get my 311 on the road.  What a minute, driving my
212 ain't bad either. :-)

My wife does need the SUV (Durango).  It allows for several people and the
kids stuff like bats, baseballs, etc...
I do use it every now and then to tow my 212 to shows.  The 212 just does
not do well in the freeways.
