yes but it's a bugger when it comes time to park it. just look what happened in ferris beulers day off.... with a knackered old ford mondeo you could park it unlocked on blackpool sea front go get leathered and it'd still there for you to sleep your hangover off in and then get you home in time for tea.

my point is that both aproaches have positive and negative attributes, neither is perfect. it's up to the individual to see which one suits them the best - that's why these things are subjective.
