The Dead Zone (or, BP and the Oil Well That Keeps on Giving)

Does everyone pretty much need two cars (let alone 3 or 4 so that the "older children" all have their own cars)?

They don't, but they do. So unless you want to simply go into Public Transport investment debate.

I think HoreTore was more on about using Green cars opposed to a 2nd guzzler which the vast majority own. You say you don't have a 2nd car and don't need one, so his comment isn't directed at you at particular.
