Second, I personally put backup cameras on par with the discovery of antibiotics and nuclear physics. And the ressurection. That's just how I roll. (I feel certain I'll be getting a call from Fr. Bill this afternoon about that. Nuts.)

Third, to tell the truth I was going to try to add a backup camera to my GL until I thought long and hard about how often I use the camera in my wife's RX330. It's seriously like almost never.

But I don't think that just because I don't use it I don't think someone else shouldn't ask for it if they need it, or for theirs to have the same abilities as someone else's who's paid the same amount. Just because I don't have one and don't feel I need one doesn't mean I think someone else shouldn't have every right to ask for one.

Recently I sat with a friend at another luxury car dealership in town (starts with the same letter as "luxury", is where my wife and I both bought recently ... oh, forget it). Anyway, he was talking about how a customer came in and asked him, "does this model come with automatic windsheild wipers?" I don't know if he actually said this but he said that he told her that if she didn't recognize moisture on her windsheild and know to turn on her wipers that she was basically a moron. I thought, "you've been selling luxury cars too long, buddy." It's part of what's expected when you spend so much on a car. People go to VW for basic, they go to Porsche for fasternhell, and they go to Mercedes & BMW for luxury when they're buying German. I won't criticize someone for wanting all the luxury when they do so.

We agree on that point too. I just took my 911 Carrera S on a curved freeway on ramp....accelerated 0-100 (or so) in a flash, then had to slow down (darn) to get on the freeway. That on ramp is the best when there are no other cars in front of me.....

It was pure basic fun!!!
