No no no.

The car weighs 50% more than the truck, has no air bags, plates, heat, radio, registration, insurance or brakes.
I can't load my motorcycle in the back of it. Drives like a tank. Has frieghteningly lawn-chair like seats.
Oh, and both driver's side doors have problems closing.

And aerodynamics seem to have no effect at the speeds I drive... Which is apparently WAY too slow eveywhere accept 15 mph zones....
