When I was a suburban kid in the 1970s, I only knew one friend whose father had a truck of some sort. Now they are the norm in nearly every family, not the exception. Even the car models produced today are *huge* compared to their 1960s counterparts. Compare a 2019 Camaro or Corvette to their 1969 counterparts. Or even worse, a modern VW "Beetle" (pseudo-Beetle to me) with its earlier counterpart–it's 2× the mass! The ubiquitous station wagon of 50 years ago became a much larger minivan or (more likely today) an SUV. Sure large sedans and wagons are passé, but don't be fooled; they have been replaced by larger vehicles, not smaller. |
