I didn’t want to rant too much in my last post, but I also find it strange that there are so many vehicles that ride either ridiculously low or ridiculously high. In both cases, they make a lot of noise and drive at crazy speeds, tailgaiting and cutting people off. Police enforcement of the speed limit and rules of the road is close to non-existent.
The reason I’m considering moving back to the Bay Area is that you have less need for a car there – I would keep our 2 SUV’s but just use them a lot less. I’m getting tired of all the rude drivers in Temecula. It’s like a Mad Max movie up here. People drive like they are true road warriors in a battle. My wife and I both drive SUV’s but it’s purely defensive. I don’t want to be in a Mini and get run over by a lifted Excursion! If I move to a less hostile environment, I would downsize to small vehicles once our SUV’s wear out.
