[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 555164, member: 1944"] It makes sense to conserve, but some of us drive far to work and a moped or carpooling may not work quite so well. I tried that with a buddy, and one of us always had to wait, sometimes an hour or more. Quality of life is an issue. If you can get home at 7 instead of 8, was it worth it. Me thinks No. And when I hit a deer on the way home, which Ive done 2xs in 12 months. I dont want it to be in a smart car, or on a scooter. My pickup gets 20 mph, and I need it to haul wood, motorcycles, and boats. Occasionally a race car or two. So I should just give all that up? Sorry , no this is still America, when I quit it no longer is. I worked, long and hard, to be able to afford these things. I already pay dearly when I use them, I dont think I should be punished for achieving them. Ill pay to drive my Silverado, dearly Im sure, but its better than the alternative.[URL]http://www.car-accidents.com/2007-auto-crash-story/3-19-07-smart-car-3.html[/URL] And yes Ive seen videos of how well the smart cars do in crashes. Good. Im not convinced. I hope they are good in crashes, although the camoflague ones are kinda dumb since they are so hard to see anyway. [/QUOTE]
