        I think they’re commenting about the size of cars as a reason they don’t like 'em. Sort of like saying “I manage a football team on Xbox but won’t go buy a $3.5 billion franchise.” The average car weighs about two tons though. At least according to the first Google result (avg car weighs a bit over 4k pounds).

          Yeah it just seemed strangely phrased and like he was trying to say he would buy a small car, but almost any car is going to weigh over a ton.

            It’s mainly just used to highlight something they find absurd about cars, which is a fair opinion about cars when considering the weight versus other modes of transportation. Obviously they can’t do everything a car can do, but it’s a fair consideration.
