Mario's Minivan

Here is your forewarning. This is just a rant of the useless kind because what I say can't change society.
I've noticed that vehicles are getting bigger and plusher especially in the SUV and minivan scene. Sure I drive a RAV4, which some might consider an SUV of sorts, but honestly its smaller than a Kia and sounds like one too. So the other day I'm driving home down US-19 in the midst of usual traffic. Side note: they need to build a 19A- an elevated road over 19 that goes from Clearwater to St. Petersburg without any traffic lights.
Anyways, while sitting at a traffic light bored, I'm looking around and I notice a modern scene in a minivan to my left. There is a mother with a child seat in the front seat, a 4 or 5 year old running wild in the back half of their silver mini-van. Add the fact that she is chowing down McDonald's fries, looking to finish the batch before the light turns green. I found the scene crazy. It is clear to me that many don't take driving seriously, escpecially on 19 which is known for daily accidents and bad drivers. She had her baby in front of the airbag and her other child wasn't restrained at all. What really brings this story to mind is the fact that I saw her swerving through traffic and punching it like Mario Andretti pushing a cannolli cart. And then she cut in front of me because she wanted to make a right turn, with no thought of her kid's safety. This lady, clearly deserves an award for stupidity in my book. But this is the trend of late. Buying bigger and more ridiculous vehicles with the mindset of "I might need that much space," and these rides suck down gasoline like a sixth grader drinks coke. I'm about tired of the SUV trends. Bring back the not-so bloated american please.
