<p>This isn't about what car you would drive. You could buy a 30-year old Fort Pinto for that matter. The costs to park it would be the same. The tolls would remain the same. The cost of gas is just as high. Traffic is just as bad. Somehow I think you missed the entire point of all that I wrote.</p>
<p>Just a real life FYI too -- a $14,000 base model car, with a few minimal added features plus sales tax plus registration and license fees -- oh, and financing fees too, unless you have the cash to buy the car sitting in the bank -- would make your car cost several thousand dollars more than the $14,000 you're using as an example.</p>
