I took this awhile ago and thought maybe someone would be amused by it. I miss that car.

    Oh look, it’s a car worthless for a family!

    I find smart cars rather worthless and lack practically for like 6 mpg which is going to save 300miles per year.

    Look of these work for you great, but they really are worthless vehicles for most adults with family.

      there are a lot of adults without family.

      Also a family needs a family car and not a truck.

        I think, especially in remote areas of Canada, the standard family car would not be sufficient.

            To me, a Jamaican, anywhere with snow or ice.

          This photo is taken in Toronto though, pretty much as far away from remote as you can get.

          Maybe not a Civic or Altima but I’ve seen many a Subaru go to places that a “standard family car” wouldn’t be sufficient. Without needing to be an oversized.

          Hell old jeeps are a fraction of today’s trucks and SUVs in size and could go deeper into rural territories.

        Yeah, is almost like shaming people for driving larger vehicles is dumb. Turns out there are a lot of different needs.

            Fuck that shit, they’re tailoring a product to someone who is not ME. This is the most grievous of sins.

            Where did I shame anyone? We’ve really gone full circle here.

          TBH I don’t think we have to read these posts as shaming the driver of these cars, necessarily. We could read them as indictments of all the choices we’ve made as a society that result in poor transit options & large vehicles.

          Choices like:

          • under investment in public transit and rail
          • Regulations that encourage/subsidize SUVs
          • low density housing policies
          • And, if we’re being really honest, the racism that drives so much of American public policy

          All of these are worthy of critique and fair targets

            You have a far more positive outlook than me. I’ve seen quite a bit of shaming at drivers. ESPECIALLY truck drivers.

          The larger the car, the greater the externalitites (including DEATH OF INNOCENT PEOPLE), the greater the shame.

      I agree. I find my Mercedes-Benz holds my family really well. I can also take extra friends with me and they always fit. Yesterday we fit 6 adults and 4 strollers in my Mercedes-Benz!

      My Mercedes-Benz is a bus.
