Right on.  A car is a machine that may or may not be suited for a particular
use.  It's foolish to mistake a car choice for a social or political
statement unless you know the car was chosen to make a statement.  I bought
a Subaru for practical reasons, but I'm slightly to the right of Attila the
Hun, politically.
