The wife loves it and wants to keep it. If she does, I'm going to get a new wife.
You just have to adopt a different take on driving. The thing about a vehicle like this is it forces you to be a better driver! You have to take a lot more care and planning with your driving. Concentrate and be more aware of what's going on around you. So if coming to lights look several cars ahead and anticipate what they're doing so you're prepared to either brake or accelerate well in time. The problem with modern cars is they make you into a lazy driver that relies too much on the ability to leave everything to the last minute. A modern car allows you to switch off and disassociate from the actual driving which, IMHO, is NOT a good thing.
