    2x insulation, 2x windows motors, wider seats per person, and busses are actually noticeably wider than cars. Cars should take up between 1/2 and 2/3 of the lane they actually occupy, while busses and big rigs puch a lot closer to the actual width of a car lane.

        Between 1988 and now the f150 only increased in width by .9 of an inch. Parking spots are set by the size of the f150 because they are consistent and abundant.

        That’s because it has to accommodate wide arses. If you ever sit in one of their seats you just sort of get lost.
