Hippies turned into yuppies and have a ton of money to slander the working class. Always have. They buy scientists to relay their tainted message and try to tell others how to live. What can you do. The whole thing is an illusion. And MPG ratings are a freaking joke. What costs a family more, a clunker that is paid for and gets 10mpg, or a $30,000 car with a $500 per month car payment that gets 38mpg. duh. Now, Bogus brings up a point that I need to touch on about the "bigger is better argument". I've been in and driven numerous little cars, including the toy I bought 2 years ago. I don't care if it has leather, nasa grade evironmental controls, or an integrated ball washer. The cars are cramped, have limited storage, and can hardly go uphill on the highway with the AC on. In a full size car, you can stretch your legs, including the guys sitting in the back, fit 8 bodies in the trunk, etc. On a real truck (think Ford 250, GMC 2500) you can plow, tow a trailer, etc. I was looking at a brand spankin new fully loaded "tough tundra" at the toyota dealership not long ago while waiting for our 4 banger economy SUV that can't even pull the waverunner to be serviced. The specs were laughable at best. Then go speak to the fisher dealers, and ask them how they feel about plowing with the light duty err I mean "tough tundra" and they laugh like you were joking. When they realize you are serious they then say "well, sir, fisher does make a light duty plow for home use".. Econo cars do have a purpose, and that is getting frail bodied vegan hippies to and from protests. I surely have no use for one, and I proved it when I owned one. Waste of money and car insurance. If you want something that is light, fuel efficient, and can't carry cargo get a bike. At least it will go uphill at 70mph. -- Joe |
