We can add a couple more to your list; Only in America....We drive on a parkway and park in a driveway. Only in America...7-11 stores are open 24 hrs, yet there's locks on the doors.

Full size spare in this one, Included with a GT Premium option. (Hope I've not disgraced the pages of this forum by posting this pic). I worked in the fleet department for an electric utility. I spec'd and ordered hundreds of vehicles over the course of ten years. Over that time it was evident...
