I searched for about 7 months before I found what I wanted. After looking at the first 3 or so, I was able to zoom in pretty quickly on the exact features I wanted, and had a very focused list desirables, re: manufacturer, engine, trans, suspension, etc. After that, it was just a matter of time.

As for not getting driven... hey, life happens... things come up. My driving has tapered off a bit each year... just too many things getting in the way. I'm the third owner of my Backdraft, and it had 4000 miles on it when I bought it 2.5 years ago (currently at 7300). It's not that I don't like driving it... but you DO have to think about where you're going & where it's going to be parked. There IS a fairly high turnover rate with these cars. To me, that's to be expected. This is a VERY limited-use vehicle, completely impractical, and BEGS for attention wherever it goes. It's loud, hot, and uncomfortable. It's not for everyone, nor should it be.
