Actually, they _are_ those early 60s Caddies. Since you can't get a car
like that anymore, people buy SUVs in order to have the same amount of

Just about any minivan does that a lot better than just
about any SUV.

Yes, but it's a minivan. The Caddy had social connotations as well.

And those big old Caddies didn't really
have all that much room in them, especially if you
considered their ponderous gas-eating bulk requiring
a large military presence in the Mideast to support, just
like the majority of the SUVs out now.

If we all drove mo-peds that "large military presence" would still be
required. By the way, what percentage of the US oil supply has been
provided by that "large military presence" to date?

You might want to get some cortisone or something in that knee.
