Gas at 5 cents a gallon good for human capital?

I bought an MR2 spyder which gets great gas mileage, but worry for the children, my father tells me about the great old days when he borrowed the plymouth or chevy in the 50's and 60's to go "PARKING" at the drive in hamburger jook or drive in theater or at the lover's outlook over the city while he listened to bobby darin or the everly brothers sing about sweet love. I myself borrowed the mercury's and ford's of my day to do similar "parking" while listening to some billy idol sweet 16, or billy joel and red head girls. I wonder how children will borrow the spyder or a hybrid civic with it's cramped space and do some of that "parking" with no room at all or big bench type seats - not even a big hood to lay back on while listening to brittney sing oops I fooled you again sucker.

As the old saying goes, size matters. Maybe arnold and others know something about big back seats and huge hummers - wasn't a lot of woman getting on to him about his agressive tendencies - what happened to all that? Of my parents 3 children, 2 were conceived in grossly oversized vehicles while "parking." I can gaurantee my children will not suffer that same horrendous fate in a spyder. Hehe
