Well I do see your point there but in the case of the Paradise fire, it was moving, in some places, at a rate of one football field PER SECOND. Some people, depending on where they were, had no chance of survival. Evacuation orders were botched because no one could comprehend a fire moving that fast.
There are simply too many cars. If everyone in America, every single person, hopped into all the cars in America, there would be nobody in the back seats.

It's all what you're used to, but I'll take low cost of living and green, rolling hills. I'd move back to my old hometown but just too small for my wife. I enjoy walking in the hardware store there and being called by my first name, and going into one restaurant there and getting hugged by the owner (who was a few years behind me in school). Nothing like that ever happens where I live now, LOL.
I paid somwhere between $20-$40 in tolls (I forget the exact amount) for those two round trips. That was galling when I drive those distances all the time and never pay anything. If nothing else, it's easier to pay more at the pump than stopping at booths. Nowadays you would instead need an invading device on your windshield and to pay another bill each month.
For a company that folks claim is so Americanized, the local dealer here had his 50th anniversary a few years ago. The newspaper photo had two execs from Japan presenting him a Samurai sword. Not criticizing, just commenting.

But I'm convinced I'll never get around to owning one.
For the extra cost, I don't think they're worth it, and in the past negatively affected headroom.
In a current Corvette, which I like, the removable hardtop is standard equipment but the basic car is appealing enough to me that probably the only option I'd pick is the glass top instead of the solid-colored roof.
Why are all interiors black these days? I miss beige or blue interiors.
I don't know of any mass market cars that have a blue interior option now. I think it can be ordered in some pricier vehicles.
I miss red/maroon interiors myself.

I've heard people think black exteriors are high maintenance, but having had a black car before, I find the black interior worse than the black exterior.
Any thoughts about this controversy that Nissan is into?
Ten years later the Volt seems to have been a technical success but a market failure. GM has just killed it, and meanwhile Tesla is 100x larger and selling more electric cars than anybody ever has.

All this has happened before in the auto biz.
I'm not a fan of black exterior or interior. My XF is black inside, however brightened a bit by the wide swath of aluminum (and smaller wood swath) on the dash and lighter headliner. Next car, I hope to get a brown/tan or gray interior. We'll see, when I bought the XF new year's eve '13, I was a bargain shopper (beggar) so a limited chooser, colors-wise.
