OK, I'm emphasizing here the terms OVERSIZED and UNNECESSARY, as in
Stupid Unnecessary Vehicles. And they are covered in your proposal.
Proposal taken! ;)

I like your honesty and the honesty of Paul Newman's daughter, a
concerned ecologist, who defends driving her Porsche. Fine! See, she
proposes riding public transportation 6 days and then the Porsche on
the 7th day. Who can go back to a little Toyota mowing machine when
you drove a Porsche! Luckily I haven't driven one (but I drove a
little Toyota mowing machine), so I'm happy with my SUBicycle for the
time being.
