Whatever happened to vehicles that don't require steps to exit / enter the cab. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/1999_Ford_Falcon_%28AU%29_XR8_sedan_%282004-01-24%29_02.jpg/1920px-1999_Ford_Falcon_%28AU%29_XR8_sedan_%282004-01-24%29_02.jpg
The obsession / normalisation of huge vehicles that transport generally one person is toxic beyond belief. I feel like shit driving my 1.4L shitbox most places, sure it's convenient but it's not great for the environment, my wallet or my health. Can't imagine the wasted resources from people driving their emotional support vehicles to do their errands.
