There are about a dozen 40m hills between here and my 4 kids' school,
5km away. The traffic moves at about 80km/hr. The round trip would kill the
charge in the car. And where would my daughter's cello fit in, hmmmm? Nope,
my gigantic Mercury will have to do for now.
The other thing is that in an accident, I have 2500kg of metal wrapped
around us. When everyone else starts driving 800kg cars, so will I.
