I took this awhile ago and thought maybe someone would be amused by it. I miss that car.

    Oh look, it’s a car worthless for a family!

    I find smart cars rather worthless and lack practically for like 6 mpg which is going to save 300miles per year.

    Look of these work for you great, but they really are worthless vehicles for most adults with family.

      there are a lot of adults without family.

      Also a family needs a family car and not a truck.

        I think, especially in remote areas of Canada, the standard family car would not be sufficient.

        Yeah, is almost like shaming people for driving larger vehicles is dumb. Turns out there are a lot of different needs.

          TBH I don’t think we have to read these posts as shaming the driver of these cars, necessarily. We could read them as indictments of all the choices we’ve made as a society that result in poor transit options & large vehicles.

          Choices like:

          • under investment in public transit and rail
          • Regulations that encourage/subsidize SUVs
          • low density housing policies
          • And, if we’re being really honest, the racism that drives so much of American public policy

          All of these are worthy of critique and fair targets

            You have a far more positive outlook than me. I’ve seen quite a bit of shaming at drivers. ESPECIALLY truck drivers.

          The larger the car, the greater the externalitites (including DEATH OF INNOCENT PEOPLE), the greater the shame.

      I agree. I find my Mercedes-Benz holds my family really well. I can also take extra friends with me and they always fit. Yesterday we fit 6 adults and 4 strollers in my Mercedes-Benz!

      My Mercedes-Benz is a bus.
