Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall

One of my all-time favourite moments from The Simpsons is when Nelson gets his comeuppance:

Very Tall Man: (lifts Nelson out of the sewer by his head) Do you find something comical about my appearance when I’m driving my automobile?
Nelson: Yeah.
Very Tall Man: Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. (turns Nelson to face the car)This was the largest auto that I could afford. Am I therefore to be made the subject of fun?
Nelson: I guess so.
(The tall guy forces Nelson to march down Main Street, pants down.)
(He drives slowly behind the ashamed bully)
Very Tall Man: Hey, everybody! Look at this, it’s that boy who laughs at everyone. Let’s laugh at him!
Crowd: HA-ha!

Driving my Honda Prelude made me feel like the Very Tall Man and I’m pretty sure a few people would have laughed at me as I hoisted my lumbering 6’4” frame out of the little buzz-box. Last friday I managed to negotiate a trade-in on the little bastard and I’m now the proud owner of a Ford Falcon Futura EL stationwagon, so now I feel like I’m driving a car that’s a better fit for me… In fact I feel quite stupid for buying such a small car in the first place, but then I really love go-karting and I wasn’t too far off it!
