In the US, about 89% of households owed one or more cars. (Worldwide, about 8% of people own a car). .....the Chinese Buffet I used to frequent before it folded was off to one end of the shopping center. Because of that, anyone who frequented the place tended to park very near it......and somewhat separated from the rest of the vehicles in the lot. So.....I could see what these people were driving.........I'd say my 6 year old Honda FIT was one of the oldest and cheapest vehicles there...........a ton of late model SUVs and other expensive cars......recall a Mexican family getting out of a Land Rover........WTFs with that???..............yet they all go for the $6.45 all you can eat lunches..........well I guess not enough of them.
