1) You can "drive everywhere" in a small car just as well as a big one. 2) We rarely need to drive everywhere. We're inherently lazy and choose to drive everywhere. 3) Family dogs need to be walked much more than they ever need to ride in a vehicle, but again our laziness manifests as a failure to bring out the leash and use our BMW (Basic Method of Walking). 4) Not everyone is so oblivious to resource issues and energy usage and economic reality that they have so many children. The planet's population has tripled in the last 50 years and this is not a good thing. 5) One does not need to be able to haul tons of kids around. Their parents can drive, too. Bus passes are much cheaper than chauffeuring. And the world will not stop spinning if the kids have to (get to?) walk or bicycle somewhere. In my neighborhood families actually pile into their over-sized SUVs to drive to the park just 3/4 mile away. Silly! 6) As has been proven by study after study, size != safety (!= means "not equal"). The larger a vehicle is the worse it responds to movement, the longer it takes to stop, and the more disconnected from the road the driver feels. Despite the fact that they make up a tiny fraction of accidents, we tend to think in the terms of head-on collisions. Study after study has shown that energy dissipating techniques such as crumple zones great reduce the forces that occupants are subjected to, but large vehicles are still mostly made from steel, unibody construction. Small cars are simply not rolling death traps. The writer of that post has nothing at all in common with me, and would not be welcome to dine at my table.

I think AM has a plan. Only AM owners can buy a Cygnet. That means the Cygnet is out of reach for 99.99% of the people, meaning us. Dream on, we can't have it.

Basically, I spend half as much on gas driving to work and back each month as I would on a bus pass. Like I said tho... that doesn't take into consideration my car payment or insurance....but I doubt i'll ever be able to live in the USA without a car. Was easy in Japan where there was a train/subway station every 10 blocks... but not here where even bus routes can be hard to come by on the west coast some times. I miss living in Osaka, I miss owning two bikes instead of a car. |
