People seem to have a lot of pent-up anger about one man's slightly humorous search for a car.
It's odd how the mini-van lost out in the "use of space" comparison, because generally speaking, they are just amazingly designed for safety and day-to-day hauling.
And also, I think the issue isn't Miles per year, it's Miles per PERSON...if the only time he fires up his automobile is for hauling an entire family around, what's it to ya?
And for all those jack-offs complaining about breeders, they should try to fit 2 car seats and a friend into ANY car that doesn't have a third row. Impossible and unfair to the people involved. There's also safety requirements for children up to 7-8 years old with respect to car seats, and we can't just "throw a bunch of kids" in the back of a sedan or station wagon - it's illegal and quite unsafe. Each human being in a car deserves the benefit of a safety belt or safety device like a car seat.
I liked this article, even though it could've been fleshed-out some more with details about how the comparison between 2 cars was made.
