Why are Americans absolutely obsessed with driving the very largest vehicle they can buy? I cannot understand it. These vehicles are not pleasant to drive — they are impossible to park, don’t drive all that well, and put everyone else at risk.

My car is not small (was one of the largest sedans you can buy) and it’s increasingly dwarfed by the absolute behemoths on the road on all sides. I swear people would buy even larger vehicles if they knew how to drive them. Soccer moms in 18 wheelers would be terrifying.
