I'm 6'4", 6'5" with shoes. A lot of my height is in my torso so you can imagine that I dislike a lot of cars. Oddly, the smaller the car, the more room I usually get. *
The fit is the TARDIS of cars. It truly is bigger on the inside.
I put my SNOWBLOWER in my Fit and did so with the back hatch FULLY closed after I ran over the neighbor's frozen newspaper and had to take it in.

Snowblower repair guy couldn't believe his eyes.
Enjoy your SUV when gas goes back up you green poser you.
*Worst car for space for me: Hummer H2. (Hotel courtesy vehicle. - Kept hitting my head on the ceiling part that hangs down.)
How was the answer missed when it is apparent to all in the quote the author quoted?
"Arreola says more study is needed to conclusively determine a cause for this pattern, but the implication is chilling: Once women break into a field in noteworthy numbers, its value goes down."
Once people/women/immigrants/machines/farm animals/outsourcing breaks into a field in NOTEWORTHY NUMBERS, its value goes down.
ie, once you increase the supply of a product (in this case a certain kind of labor) the price falls without a corresponding change in demand.
Young men and women should bear this in mind carefully as they decide on their careers. Start by not doing what all your friends are doing, then ask: "What skills will be needed that are likely to experience shortages?"
Answer that correctly and you could have a busy and lucrative career.
