LOL.  I'm a Debian convert and I drive a small car, but for economic 
reasons only.  I can't afford the gas for an SUV or pickup until I find 
myself a door into the IT world so I can work again. 

I'm a pretty large guy so getting into a small car is a major hassle and 
then I'm pretty cramped up.  I'd also prefer to have a vehicle that has 
more room for people + their luggage as when we go somewhere for 2 or 3 
days my wife packs as if she is going to be gone for a month and our 
little Honda is so full there isn't any room left for us or to see out 
the rear window.  And that's after she stuffs the trunk so full you have 
slam the trunk lid to get it to close....
