You'd be surprized what you can do with astonishingly few horsepower.
Agreed, towing a double seater may be a bit harder, but still works with
70 hp. Maybe not at 70 mph uphill, but who cares? How often do you tow a
trailer?

About four big trips (and lot of little ones) and 10,000 miles a year.
For example, if the 18 meter class National competition is held in
Uvalde, it's a 4000 mile round trip for me. Even to go to Minden is a
1400 mile round trip.

Once or twice a year for holidays and twice or thrice for a
retrieve, ant that's it in most cases. For me, spending two or three
hours more in a year for towing (assuming the worst case scenario) is
much better than having to drive an insane SUV the whole year.

And most US pilots that fly close to home agree with you, and use
whatever car they have.
