My last post was much more harsh than I intended, but it struck a nerve.
I put 100 miles on my 911 today, it's basically as small as a 914. I watch out for larger vehicles and try to make sure i have an out just in case. I used to drive a motorcycle and learned that technique out of necessity. I relize that I have to share the road with bigger vehicles and deal with it.
My daily driver is a full sized pick up, but I'm still dwarfed by big rigs, I watch out for them just in case and just pay attention.
My wife drives a 2003 Honda pilot, it's not as big as an excursion or expedition but it is as big as a ford exploder. it has a V6 with 240 HP and gets around 18 mpg in the city and is classified as a low emission vehicle. It comes in real handy and at least 7 of the seats are filled often. it also comes in handy hauling the waverunners to the river. For our needs it makes sense. We had a mini-van before but it didn't do as good of a job hauling and handled like a sloppy pig.

My pick up is bigger than the pilot, has a V8, and gets lower mileage but I don't remember seeing any posts saying I shouldn't drive a truck. I don't get it.
