You don't hear about them because they don't go on forums and crow about how much money they have saved, the way we go on forums and crow about things our money has bought us.

My wife wanted a new E coupe. Sure we could afford an E550. But since she drives putt-putt 4 miles to work and doesn't have a concept of WOT, there's no reason to get her the V8. We bought the E350, saved money on the car, and continue to save money at the pump. She gets all the luxury and safety she wants AND we save a few bucks. Everybody wins.
Right, but then we wouldn't be talking about 'car' people. Keep things within the scope here.
