No we just don't like being told what do, by Smug smart Asses in California.
Hey I gotta an Idea! Why don't you manufacture cars in California, so they can inject and dictate what goes in them or don't? California could just set the standard right at the source, and only provide one flavor of automobiles. Maybe then we could be a Nation that drives the battery powered Barbie Wrangler everywhere.
OH, that's right, California Can't because the only industry California can get are the ones that doesn't have any byproducts or waste, lest the State makes it cost prohibitive. I'm surprised California hasn't figured out a way to tax and oppress the Tech industry. I think the Californians aren't trying hard enough. The Tech industry produces as much waste and junk as everyone else. Their annual packaging and marketing material waste alone could probably fill up a Staten Island.

Are we really to big to drive small? I'm not. I'm over 6 feet tall and embarrassingly fat. Yet my favorite car was a Geo Metro.
"Karen Steelman, a stay-at-home mom from Athens, Ga., has tried to like small cars. She read plenty of reviews, kicked their tires, and has even taken a few test drives."
"But none of them make her feel safe. And none of them make her feel comfortable."
It's my observation that, for many people, their car is more than a conveyance, it's a suit of armor. And if there's any correlation between the size of the vehicle and the size of the driver, it's a negative one.
Here's the story's biggest lie:
"Automakers have long tried to figure out how to get Americans to buy smaller cars."
HaHaHaHa!!
