Also there are some (possibly like yourself) who simply don't care about how "cool" a vehicle is.

Also keep in mind that people's definitions of "coolness" will vary considerably. The Rice Boy with his chromed, be-winged CRX with the six inch diameter exhaust piple thinks his car is really cool. The guy driving the monster-size Hummer with the blacked out trim and the knobbly tires thinks his car is the ultimate in cool, and laughs at the Rice Boy who in turn is laughing at him. I think my absolutely stock-appearing ShoWagon is cooler than anybody else's car on this bbs -- even though I know the great majority of you are laughing at me for thinking so.

Buying a car for the "coolness" factor is not necessarily a bad thing.
