I guess a lot has to do with what "DD" means to each of us. In my case, I live 50 miles west of Washington, DC and commute in every day in a company vehicle. Every day I am thankful I am not driving my own vehicle. The traffic sucks, and the roads suck even more. If the company vehicle breaks down I am expected to drive my own car, which is a Honda Element (please, no more on the Element). In the past 3 years I've driven the Element to work twice. If I didn't have the Element and had to drive my Westy into the city...I'd call in sick until the company vehicle was fixed. I've put too much into my Westy and it looks too damn good to ever become a daily driver in the Washington DC area. And I haven't even mentioned the salt on the roads in winter yet...NO WAY IN H*LL!!!     Jeff
