look at it this way, you complain that someone driving a big SUV
is endangering you in your little Honda Accord (the SUV might
be what, 4 to 5 times your vehicle weight). Well, that Honda
is at least 5 times the weight of my Honda. Why are you driving
that a vehicle that endangers me?


Heh. Because I got rid of my 350 when I had a family, which was
untransportable on the two wheeler.

But seriously, I would love to use something much smaller for local
transportation. The bike works for just myself, and if there were small
rechargeable electric golf-cart like vehicles that could handle these hills
we would get one for local errands. Boy would parking be easy!!

I think the difference is that I would like to get the smallest vehicle that
will get me and family around and others look to get the biggest one that
can do the job. Around here the big thing is to get the most expensive,
biggest, best equipped vehicle possible and park it in front of your 6000
square foot McMansion on one tenth of an acre. Then the illegal nanny from
El Salvadore who doesn't have a license drives the kids to school while both
parents commute to the city for most of the day and evening.
