Well if you are just a young family man with two babies shortly, trying to get by on a "military" wage, it seems to me you want to jump through a whole mess of expensive hoops just to get some mileage. Man these systems have all kinds of engineering and planning behind them that I don't think you have began to consider. Why not for the sake of cost, efficiency, safety, reliability and more, why don't you just buy a well maintained Civic or a Toyota or a Mazda. I get so tired of these "day dreams" and just thought I would put my two cents in with the rest.
