Hell, the only things fundamental to life are food/water/fire/shelter
Everything else is secondary.
True, nowhere does the need to buy a Subaru outweigh the other options available. Subaru isn't the only car you can buy...
That is true. I could have spent a minimum of $25,000 more to get 2 cars with comparable features that we needed, which also costs more for insurance and annual license fees, and requires a 100 mile round trip for service. And, where do I draw the line? Can I buy a Toyota? The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and killed a lot of Americans. Can I buy a Ford? The Yankees suppressed the south during the Civil War.
I also could shop at mom and pop stores and pay $50 more per shopping trip than going to WalMart. Maybe I should, but I don't.
