Hippies need VW buses to smoke out and prom kids need limos to puke from. It's not like every soccer mom/nascar dad is diving around in a motor home or limo, taking up 5 parking spaces at the Sprawl-Mart. And it's not like the gub'ment is giving out tax breaks to buyers of motor homes or limos. But they are giving breaks to people who are driving around in ridiculously oversized, gas-guzzling vehicles and parking them in the "compact" spaces everywhere they go. Here in Kaw-lee-fowr-nee-ah we have a "get your guzzler off the road" cash incentive. Mrs. P. got $650 for turning in her '72 Mercedes to the scrapyard, sad as it was.
