An auto engrg gnome of mind commented, we are making people movers not family movers.

CAFE constraints have taken their toll on vehicle overhang and ergo wieght at the cost of cargo space for packing it up for a vacation.

So then you put a luggage container on the roof and ruin the "aero".

The bottom line was the Mini-Van/SUV had room for real sized people and stuff you need to go places and exercise your liberty.

Obama doesn't want you to do that, you have to take the train to the Union Retreat Facility if he had his way....

BTW if they had their way the Watermelons would have us all driving mid 80's ish Golf/Jetta Diesels. Not enough room for a real family, they don't get that and never will....

That's why I'm keeping my Merc Mountaineer with the good ol' 5.0 V-8 until the government goons come and drag it away in the dead of night. I can keep it running for a long, long time (there's even a spare long block in the corner of the garage).

As the gearhead former front-man of Dire Straits recently wrote in his solo tune Border Reiver:

"Three Hundred Thousand on the clock
and plenty more to go,
Crashbox and lever,
She needs the heel-and-toe..."
