Distances in the wild west are huge and there is no way people can afford to drive them in the behemoths these days. Most of the pickups I see around town are now working for a living, not being driven by urban cowboys. I haven't seen a huge Explorer in months. I did see an H2 driven down near the base about a month ago. It was probably six months or more since I'd seen another one.

Smart Cars and Minis used to be so uncommon that people would gawk and point. Now they're not remarkable any more.
