It's funny, I was just at the car dealership yesterday getting my car repaired and I talked to a guy on the showroom floor who was buying a new vehicle. The dealer had the new Nissan electric car on display that I was checking out, and the guy said " Don't buy that it's electric! "
I asked him why, because I think electric cars are great. He was a bigger man, about 5'10 tall and 350 lb. He said that he can't fit in anything smaller than a full size pickup truck because they are "too small for me.". Which of course is silly, because I've seen plenty of fat people fit in smaller cars. In fact, I had a friend who weighed almost as much as he did who was able to fit into my 1986 Honda Civic hatchback.
So there you go ladies and gentlemen, Americans believe they're too fat to fit in anything but a gigantic pickup truck with a 7,000 lb GVWR.
