I thought you were supposed to be in the business of encouraging people. To read what you have posted, I wouldn't blame jade for being put off from her idea that she was car-lighter.
I'm certainly not trying to discourage her, and I said that I admire her efforts. But words do have some meaning; they can't just be twisted anyway you like. If you want to coin a new word like "car-lighter" I'm up for it!
As for hypothetical people who drive 45 minutes to go 10 miles, and voluntarily do it ten times a week...as a psychologist I couldn't recommend such self-inflicted mental torture!
