Vehicles
America has, quite possibly, some of the most incredible vehicles I've ever seen. Pick-up trucks larger than the biggest transit vans, town-cars that surely must have rappers behind their darkened windows, Hummers that old ladies use to do their daily errands in, and SUVs that you could probably move an entire school of children in.
And, just like in the films, there's bright yellow school buses, dozens of non-descript 'sedans' (saloons), and hardly any hatchbacks at all.
They also have dozens of makes that have never made it to Europe. Chevy, Dodge, Buick, GMC, Mercury, Saturn, Oldmobile, Pontiac, the list goes on.
And fuel has hit 3 dollars a gallon. They're up in arms. As far as I'm concerned, it's great value.
