There will always be big people but, I hate it when I see a normal sized soccer mom driving a tank (what I call H2's, Expeditions, Escalade's, Tahoe's, etc) but they aren't even hauling around anyone. The most some ever have is their two kids, so all three including the mother would fit in a family sedan or so. Heck, even the father with the children and mother would fit in a family sedan. Why buy a tank if you aren't super tall (tall just doesn't cut it because I think most tall men could comfortably fit in a sedan) and are just going to be driving around town until it's time to pick up the kids?

/rant sorry. Wowza this thread went off topic.
