What would make you happy? If everyone drove a Prius and did their boating in a canoe or a 14 foot Whaler?

What would you say to the contractors who need the pickup truck to carry tools to do their job or the landscapers who need a full sized pickup to carry their equipment or pull a trailer?

What about the families with a couple of kids and a dog who use their SUV because it is big enough to carry what they need to go on vacation?

What would you say to the hundreds of families who enjoy the lake and sleep on their boat in a marina? In your world, do they not belong here?
When it was just contractors, landscapers and other guys who actually needed pickups, there were a reasonable number of them. I trust you remember this time when most "civilians" drove cars, even with bigger families. But now with every soccer mom on her way to the mall or every guy who "needs" his truck to go to the transfer station once a week, it does get to be kind of ridiculous
