The roads in my neck of the woods would swallow one of those little things whole. My wife used to have a Honda Civic with 12" wheels. One day while driving on one of our main streets, I hit a rain filled pothole big enough to blow a tyre and crack the windshield. One of my peeves with them forcing Kyoto on us is that the infrastructure where I live has deteriorated to the point where driving a small vehicle has become a safety issue, yet we will be penalized even more for driving vehicles that will stand up to the roads.
