I guess I'm still not making my point. Sure, dad COULD drive a larger car, and those Europeans COULD have driven larger cars if they'd wanted to badly enough. The question is, why did dad WANT to drive a larger car? What sold dad on the idea that a bigger car, with automatic transmission and soft handles-like-a-waterbed suspension, was a desireable thing to have?
