This is a pretty cool article and it shows out the difference in needs across states.<p>I remember I lived in Toronto for a year and constantly got asked why Americans needed "big trucks" for anything. They assumed every American had some massive truck.<p>I had to explain to them about farming, hauling stuff, etc... I'm not sure they believed me.<p>Hell, Californians feel the same way. "Who could ever need such a monstrosity!"
