The Dallas &#x2F; Fort Worth area is referred to as a &quot;metroplex.&quot;  The vast majority of that metroplex has no adequate public transit, if &quot;adequate&quot; is to be described as &quot;walkable without turning into a sweaty puddle during the summer time.&quot;  But hey, if you want to walk 4 miles to reach a bus terminal to prove a point, be my guest.  I&#x27;ll be driving, and so will virtually everyone else in &quot;generation Y.&quot;<p>People seek status.  Vehicle ownership is a status symbol by itself.  Owning a more expensive car?  Also a status symbol.  That they don&#x27;t know what&#x27;s going on under the hood doesn&#x27;t stop them from wanting the most flashy thing they can afford.
