Now THAT is a really good idea!  It always seems like the people that
drive SUVs some of the time don't know how to drive them.  It seems
that getting an extra license would be good for people who want to own
a larger vehicle.

Wow!!  That is super cool!  I also just found out that my wife has seen
one where she works.  For commuting around town, that thing would be
perfect!  It seems in Europe, people are a little smarter about small
cars than we are.  Too bad in the US we have the mentality that bigger
is better.  It seems that getting a car that gets 90 MPG like the Lupo
would make more sense, but here, we are really slow to figure things
like that out.  Maybe eventually, people in this country will start to
want good fuel economy again, and that will become more important than
having seating for 7 for a family of 3. (What?  I'm having a kid?  I
guess I need an Expedition!!)
