How come more people drive cars than drive pickup trucks?

- Mr. Redneck
AKA - Robin Holden'03

Well Mr. Redneck,

I did some research on this, but I never came up with any conclusive information. I think there are several factors to the fact Americans drive more cars than pickup trucks.

- Cars tend to get better gas mileage.
- Cars are easier to maneuver in cities.
- Cars tend to be more inexpensive than pickup trucks.
- SUV's are the "Trucks" of choice because they allow for protection (from what, I'm not sure) and off-road capabilities in those... middle-class suburban neighborhoods....
- Not everyone is a Redneck like yourself.
- Cars tend to be symbolic of the urban and suburban American culture while trucks tend to be the symbol of rural society. Although the majority of the physical land in our country is used for farming, and other rural applications, the bulk of the population is still in an urban or suburban environment.

There's no hard facts, but just a few thoughts, hope they help and enjoy your day.

-Matt


Hey Matty-Poo,

Why doesn't anyone love me?

Yours in time,
Mike DeSimone

Mike,

Well, I'm not sure why no one loves you, I asked ASK.COM and their response was rather interesting, they gave me a link to Tom Volk's Fungi, yeah... I really can't explain, but you just need to go there. I also got a link to some MAC Resource Page... I got scared. Then ASK asked ME some questions...

So I decided that it might not be my place to investigate this subject... you're just too weird. Sadly Mike, there's no hope for you... the simple fact is you smell, Try a shower any maybe (and it's a big maybe) someone will one day love you.

-M
