One person per car, alone.

Well I don't drive. But I know that hubby has said we always feel safer in a large vehicle in case we were in a crash. But we just bought a Nissan Juke 2011 and it seems so small compared to our old SUV Nissan 1990's.

9 of 10 vehicles here in this rural town are trucks, but my god<!> some of these Ford-Dodge-Chevy trucks are e-n-o-r-m-o-u-s. Granted, some are towing horse trailers or large dump trailers for fire wood, but most are purely for ego-self-gratification.

IMHO, RAM trucks are the worst!

I have two vehicles and I'm the only driver.

My classic MG is one of two cars that we own. It's quite frugal on fuel.
I have been pondering on whether to buy another MG.


This new MG has a certain appeal.

Can you imagine a car dealership that will lower the price on your wanted SUV if you, at one fourth price, also purchase a minny 2-seater vehicle allowed only to be driven on bicycle paths?

Vehicles, even two seaters, are not allowed to drive on the bike lanes in my area.

Nope, we sure don't, @chic . We never know someone's real story or what's going on while standing on the sidelines looking in.

Once when I was driving my grandmother someplace I became annoyed at another driver and said "I don't know what the hell that guys problem is". Granny just looked at me and said "no, you don't".

I've always remembered that little lesson.

Those little cars are cute but i think of them as death traps.

I was amazed at this

I can imagine dealerships that will construct virtually any kind of deal that'll result in an extra nickel in their pocket.
The nature of the beast.

If everybody would switch to little cars I'd be perfectly content with one, but I don't want to be the tiniest vehicle on the road.

Lately I used the buses and trains so much that when I took my car in for an oil change I'd only put 3000 miles on the car after more than a year.

I feel a little guilty tying up a whole car just for the few places I go, but it is nice to have the flexibility.

For most people I'd think a truck would be a poor use of money, when we had a little pick-up truck it was clearly more expensive than just paying the feed store to deliver. Tho the truck bed did come in handy for bringing kiddie pools home from Walmart for the ducks and geese to play in.

Yep, it’s dumb. Moving one person in a 2-ton box is wasteful. Tiny one- or two-seaters make way more sense, but people buy for image and “just in case” seats they never use. It’s ego over logic.
