I understand that it is fairly common among the American middle class to have a lot more vehicles per household than here in Australia. Around here one or two cars per family is normal and if it is two cars most commonly only one will be a large car.
One again apologies in advance for any offence but it really pisses me off when people buy big four wheel drives (what Americans call SUVs) but they never leave urban areas. I have no problem with people owning four wheel drives because they need off-road and/or towing capability but owning an SUV or huge pickup truck for urban driving strikes me as, well, blindingly stupid.
