Something about cars in America is... they are big! Not all the cars. But there are more big cars than what I see in any part of Asia. I heard the same comments from some Europeans too.
Its not a pleasant experience to park beside such big cars. They take up a lot of space in the parking lots, just like when someone take up the whole sit on a bus. When you part in, you have to pay a lot of unnecessary attention to them. Even if you park as per normal, you may find that you door can touch their fat body while within an inch of comfortably open.
On the highway, I also notice that two types of cars will not give way to you. One is the sporty cars which is very short. Two is the big fat cars.
This is the part of the culture which is strange. The short cars are so that its difficult to get into them. You have to bend your body and try to enter the seats, which is not enough. You then have to bend your knees as well. And if you are not careful, your head has likelihood of knocking against the door frame, which is your head is danger, not the door frame. And they are almost short enough to tempt you to walk all over them. They are not of the right proportion. The big fat cars are over sized for a lot of parking lots. They also drink fuel for pleasure. Which is not a proper behavior of cars. Cars are meant to bring you around, not to get themselves drunk when you are not looking. If your chauffeur is like that. You would have gotten him fired.
So I hope relevant people who are reading this would contemplate on the words if you own either a short or big fat car!
