I've been downsizing for the last 10 years... for all the reasons I already stated. I'd downsize some more... but Toyota and the other manufacturers won't build anything smaller that I'd buy... mostly because they purposely only offer options I want on the vehicles they make the most profit on.

I just got back from Europe... and it's obvious what we'll all be driving SOON. Even motorcycles are being downsized. Europe is FULL of scooters now... and my friend in Chicago just told me last week, that's the latest craze there. They also have 3 wheel scooters in Italy with dump beds on the back that do most of the work that we use quad cab Hemis for here... LOL

When I was riding down the Amalfi Coast in Italy, and the scooters were buzzing around the tour bus... all I could think of, damn that looks FUN !!! Every time we got stopped, the scooters just oozed thru traffic and ran off and left us. Conversely, I had to laugh when a guy with a Harley got stuck in traffic in front of us, because his handlebars were too wide to get between 2 cars.

Oh, I have a Harley too... but as soon as I can find a reason to have one, I'll have a scooter as well.
