And they are big on gas guzzling, what with oil prices going up.
Just read that a local car park has increased the size of the bays to accommodate larger vehicles. Seems the wrong solution to me.
Why do we need such big vehicles?
Remember when Minis were - well - "mini"?
Great article Brooks, thanks for posting
The bigger the car gets the more of an arsehole the driver is likely to be.
There are exceptions but generally SUV drivers tend to be particularly arrogant and selfish.
But the scariest stat is that 70% of pedestrians in a front blind spot struck and killed in a driveway or parking lot are either the driver's own child or a close relative.
I always wanted a Chrysler 300c (Hemi,white with standard wheels and nice quiet exhaust) and,working on the principle of only living once,treated myself to one a couple of years back.
Occasionally,material stuff can make you happy. I only drive about once a week,pottering around with a silly grin,going up the hills slowly, listening to the mellifluous warble of the big motor. I'm a pussycat of the road now,relaxed as a limp rag.
I've suffered from buyers remorse several times,but in this instance,I'm just sorry I didn't spoil myself sooner!
I honestly can't decide if you are trolling or have spectacularly missed the point...
