The fact is that anything "geared like a truck" is inappropriate for
maybe 90% of the people who buy such vehicles. I'm not saying that a
carpenter, mason or landscaper shouldn't have a pickup truck. But,
it's just plain stupid that soccer mommies are driving around in
SUVs which, by design, get hideous gas mileage. You know full well
that the vast majority of people who own them will never EVER need
the mechanical advantages of those power trains. NEVER. No towing,
no off-road, nothing.

yeah? well, its their choice. i myself have a 98 civic hatch, and if
i ever replace it itll be with another small hatch. also have a small
dual-sport motorcycle, and a big scooter. i dont even bother looking
at the pump price when i fill up. less money spent on gas means more
money to spend on cool toys

It's their choice, but only if they're made aware of the mechanical
options they knew nothing about. Without knowledge, there is no
choice.




You can't force people to learn,it must be their choice.
