Default OT -- Small Cars Are Dangerous Cars - Fuel economy zealots can kill you

What about people who physically can't fit into those tiny 'death
on
wheels' toys because of longer than average legs, or being disabled?
Every small vehicle I looked at the last time was impossible to drive
because my knees hit the dash, or I couldn't get in or out without
help, because of so little room under the steering wheel that I
couldn't use a cane to help me in or out of the driver's seat?



Hrm.... I drive a 95 Dodge Neon, I'm 6'-5", 240 with bad knees...and don't
have any issue with it being too small. It gets 33 mpg in mixed
city/highway driving even though it's an automatic and it's got 200,000
miles on it.

You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make
better idiots.
