...3-4,000lbs of raw material with a single occupant in most cases...
Come out to Redneckville for a lookee-see. The commuter vehicle/recreational cruiser of choice has eight cylinders, a/t, 4x4, frontal area of 40 sq ft or more, Cd of .45 or more, and a curb weight of 5,000 lbs if not more (but a popular weight saving mod is the muffler delete).

All that for less than a single occupant; the carcass is in there but the brain is MIA.
