Cars, trucks now outnumber drivers
http://www.salon.com/tech/wire/2003/08/29/cars_and_drivers/index.html

For the first time, the typical American family has more vehicles in the garage than licensed drivers in the house, according to the Transportation Department's latest national survey.

There are 107 million U.S. households, each with an average of 1.9 cars, trucks or sport utility vehicles and 1.8 drivers, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics reported. That equals 204 million vehicles and 191 million drivers.
