tasdrouille- try looking for the yaris and smart fortwos under the SUVs.
You guys are complaining about North American cities, but when I come to the US the driving seems soooo slooow. Compared to Poland, and especially Warsaw, Americans drive by the law. Sure, they think their GMC Yukon or H2 is a compact and fits in a parking slot with a "C", but they still don't deserve the name "kamikaze". In Warsaw I'm considered a slow driver so everyone honks at me, flashes their lights or even passes me on the sidewalk or grass! And I only drive 20-30km/h over the speed limit (now less, since I pay more attention to FE).

You forgot about the cup of coffee. Sounds like the soccer moms that drive American kids to school every morning. I had a few close encounters with those when biking in Berkeley

That's a lot of brains, Denis. Are you sure about that?
