    Honestly “soccer mom” is probably a better use of street capacity than most usage of cars. One adult and six kids in a Suburban is much more efficient than three adults each with two kids in the back of three sedans.

      True, but the vehicle in all likelihood was purchased out of “fuck you i’m rich/leveraged to the tits, I deserve a gas guzzler the likes of which Mansa Musa would find ostentatious” mentality.

        While it’s probably true that most oversized SUVs are owned by people that don’t need them, “soccer mom” specifically refers to someone that would need that space, since they’re the one that drives their kids (and their friends) to and from soccer practice.

      Most “soccer moms” only transporting a couple times a week at max capacity. Rest of the time it’s solo travel between work/groceries/“me time”. 💀
