I'm tired of arguing for LSVs as some sort of panacea. I am thinking the best car for 30A is not an LSV, but something that can keep up with traffic. A Jeep sounds appealling, but I think the best is actually a Fiat 500 -in the soft shade of green, with tan drop top. Not much more money than an LSV, but much more practical, and can keep up with traffic where called upon. And I think they're beautiful cars. Truth is, i'm just tired of seeing huge SUV's really, so yes I'd prefer to see an LSV and put up with (what to me at least) seems very minor brushes with being slowed down (as compared to cyclists even for god sakes) that I'm down with it. I'd like to see a mix of Nissan Leaf's (I bought one and love it) and Fiat 500's, and LSV's all driven responsibly and courteously. I'm tired of seeing Seaside jammed with humongous SUV's. On some days a few years ago, I snapped some photos of the parking cirlce in towncenter Seaside, and there was literally 100% large format SUV's parked there. I guess its just the way it is. I think ultimately LSVs will continue to grow exponentially in popularity, and that doesn't cure everything and it does create a new set of headaches (which I think are smaller relative to the alternative.) Yes, obviously the insurance companies agree with me, but I guess I'm not going to get too many locals to publicly agree with this stance. The critique of the tourist acting idiotic is almost a sport sometimes amongst people who have to deal with them everyday, I get that. But I have to say that the tourists that we're attracting in South Walton are the most courteous that you'd get anywhere in America.
