How true. Minifigs are just as unenvironmental as people! LEGO should fix
that... (But of course it won't)
Some ten years ago I experimented with a four-seated car (two in back, two
in front), but I was just a kid, I didn't care much about aesthetics, etc. I
just built it. (As I recall, it had a few windshields, in two floors, and,
well... it was ugly.)
I think, leave minifigs in peace, and if you have a problem with scale,
build different models!
Bye,
