You speak the truth. Cars will be pried from American's cold dead hands. and the rest of the world is following suite - as 3rd world countries become wealthy, guess what: people who can, buy cars!!
there is just something about the car=freedom, and cars being used as a projection of self, that is completely addicting to most people.
i wonder if this was the case with horses & chariots? I kinda bet so....
might as well deal with the problem. Human nature ain't gonna change, a fight to do so is doomed to fail.
Cheers and ride on
