I've always found the "less cash for a standard" a nice bonus,
considering that's all I buy. I'd actually pay *more* for the
standard... I think the extra money to get the auto is an imposed fee
by the government or the insurance industry. I think they must figure
that people who don't want to actually *drive* their cars are at more
risk than "real" drivers, or something... ;-)
