I was thinking today about people living the 1970’s and parking their huge cars. How did these people survive? What was life back then driving around a car twice the size of a “compact” car today? When the word compact meant a Ford Mustang, not a molded piece of plastic that crumbles upon the slightest touch, how did people drive and park these massive vehicles? You can track the evolution of car sizes though the years but is difficult to track the shrinking parking sizes over the years.

The only way I can think of relating this idea is to compare it to airplanes. Every time I get on a plane, I happen to get squashed against a dietary challenged individual. While most of the time they are nice, non-smelling and don’t bother me they do take up a good chunk of the seat up. I look over at the 5 seats across and wonder what if there were only 4 seats across. I know the answer to that one, it’s easy, more space for everybody!
