Yeah, big cars are such big gas guzzlers. My mom's got a 2010 Caravan and it's about $60-$70 to fill it right up. My friend has a 1998 Silverado pickup and she also pays about that to fill it up.

But this is not America

Big cars have always been a part of life in Canada and the US, I think. Even like 30 of 40 years ago when sedans and coupes were as long as boats (hence the term "boat car"), to now with SUVs, minivans, and pickup trucks. Parking spaces seem to be getting smaller as cars are getting bigger, but I don't have trouble parking my car in between two enormous cars.

That's cute, Kayleigh. My cousin has a VW Bug in the same color. She looks so adorable in it, lol.

I doubt driving a green car in my area would do me any justice.

Personally, I've always and only been drawn to silver or black cars. And I've actually only owned silver cars, lol. Currently, I drive a silver Civic similar to this:

Overhere, only ****heads drive SUV's and big Offroad vehicles. Not kidding, it's really something for guys with a very tiny wiener here

.
I once drove my ex-mother in law's Landrover Freelander. I got right of way at every ****ing crossing. People were actually surprised I told them to go first.

They took a very good look at the ALfa 155.

I often think that's the case here too, especially with the big expensive SUVs like the Lincolns or the Cadillacs. I never see women driving those ones! I think people like to show off their wealth with the luxury SUVs too, something like "Look at me!!! I can make $400/month payments and put $100 of gas in every week!! Wheeee!!!!"

Haha, I don't see the point either. There's nothing really... practical about those?
I mean, main reason I don't drive a bigass stationwagon volvo is that it just uses up too much gas and is practically nowhere to park. Probably different there, but not here.
I don't see the upside of a SUV myself. If I want a big car, I buy a van. If I want loads of legroom, I buy a volvo, if I want to show off, I buy a friggin' oldtimer with some style
