@Richard_hoperestored @Sir_Osis_of_Liver @arstechnica -- I call it the 5% fallacy. When you buy a car, you use it 95% of the time to commute to work, get groceries, take the kids to school, etc.
But people buy trucks and SUVs based on the 5% fallacy of basing 100% of your purchase on the 5% of cases.
You could buy a commuter car and save a lot of money and save a lot of carbon utilizing a car that will meet 95% off all your needs better.

There is a lot of that.
Most home reno places deliver, or offer discounted short term truck/van rentals.

I had a folding utility trailer that I towed with my small hatchbacks or wagons.

Completely renovated one house with that and a complete basement in another. I used the delivery service for sheetrock, but everything else was hauled in the trailer.

@Sir_Osis_of_Liver @jeffowski @Richard_hoperestored @arstechnica

Folding utility trailers for the win!

Cars kill people. Right up there with a model's miles per gallon or miles on a full charge, maybe tell us how many miles per dead person?

@slowenough @Sir_Osis_of_Liver @jeffowski @Richard_hoperestored @arstechnica Better not. These misanthropes would probably use their deadliness as a selling point.

@bhawthorne @slowenough @Sir_Osis_of_Liver @jeffowski @Richard_hoperestored @arstechnica Probably. The aesthetic of a lot of these overly tall vehicles is really aggressive, so proof of the aggressive badassery would likely be a positive for the target audience.
