That's actually the tragedy of the whole situation. If I'm moving 3-4 hours from the city and all my driving will be highways, then the last thing I want is my sportscar. I'll need my little hatchback or a diesel BMW that eats kilometres. I still think I'll try and find something loud and stupid just for special occasions and local trips. If all else fails, I'll buy a crate V8 from Ford  and use it to run a pedestal fan in my living room or something.
