by your reasoning, why do you need an integrated radio/cd player if you can simply bring a portable with you?

why do you need A/C? there are plenty handheld fans to do the job.

why do you need seats? you can simply duck or sit on the floor.

what about the windshield? you can just get a helmet to block the wind.

or, why do you need a BMW in the first place if a chevy aveo can take you from point A to point B just as well?

the list can go on and on. you can find a substitute for anything in the car but it's never as good as the real thing.

i got the package just for leather, auto-dimming and upgraded sound system, among other things. to me, those options are priceless. the garage door opener is also a really nice convenience option.
