It looks idiotic though not as much as driving 3 tons of SUV to get a

Would it be smarter to have a different sized vehicle to perfectly match
every possible transportation need? Have an SUV to haul bulk recycling
materials to the recycling center, then have a four door car to move
children, then have a hatchback to commute with sales equipment, then
have a scooter to buy milk (in good weather) a few miles away? It
sounds smarter/require less resources to have one vehicle, even if it
may be overkill at sometimes.


Most SUV owners also have bikes at home, or can buy one to go and get
a loaf of bread.


How about owning a car and renting a U-Haul truck when they need it?


I'm glad you are willing to instruct others on how to make the best
choices for their daily lives. Riding a bike for every time one wants
to go to the supermarket is often not very practical, can be very
dangerous on some roads (more so at night) and has the problems increase
with bad weather.


Big Brother already does that service for you. He decides that you
can't freely import cars from Europe. They must meet certain
standards, the same standards SUVs don't meet because they are not
technically cars but trucks, and yet you can drive them with a regular
license.

It sounds complicated but it's all about money.


I know I would not want to have to go through the hassle of renting a U
Haul truck every weekend. It is expensive, plus requires separate
insurance for each rental to be properly insured. Perhaps you would be
willing to provide trucks at cost for everyone?


Chavez' socialism allows you to fill up a gas guzzler's tank with two
bucks. Something most Americans don't know or else they would turn
socialist.
