Bummer.
For his birthday this year, I bought my dad an organic cotton t-shirt with a Hummer on the front that read, "Bummer." Well, nothing's more of a bummer than having one of these vehicles riding your tail when you're driving a Mini... We recently decided to simplify our lives a bit and consolidate to a single car (no more street parking, horray!). We purchased a used Mini for our new shared vehicle. Jason and I are in an ongoing debate about how much we collectively like our new ride - it's such a great, compact, sporty little car; ideal for driving and parking in the city and keeping costs low. I even learned how to drive a manual shift for it! But on the other hand, it's a totally different experience being on the road in such a small car. While driving on the highway, you really feel the presence of these larger vehicles two-fold, particularly when their owners are driving poorly! Then again, it's clear that there's a revolution of little cars starting... maybe there's hope for us yet!
