The brain is a confabulation/justification engine.

In reality ideal utility is likely found in the shape of a 2008 Toyota Camry and a U-Haul truck rental when necessary.

You may underestimate how much consumption some people in the US have and why a Camry wouldn't work. Hell, for the amount of hobby project stuff I bring home on a bi-weekly basis a car just doesn't cut it. Then again, I'm not sure where I fit in the average population.

More like a 2001 Renault Clio. Camrys are already bloatware.

safety standards, gas milage, and a bunch of other factors have improved dramatically since 2008.

buy yourself a gently used 2019 Camry
