The web site I link to above may or may not be accurate - I don't think its calculation of median price is on target, for instance. But if you jump around to all five of our zip codes (tat would be 06807, 06830, 06831, 06870 and 06878) you can compile the number of motor vehicles it thinks are in town. Or you can trust my math (always a dangerous thing to do) and learn that we have 43,917 motor vehicles kicking around. That number includes motor scooters, mopeds and the like, but it's still a lot of steel on our streets, given that 25% of our population of 62,000 is under 16 (roughly). No word on how many landscapers, cement trucks and the like fly through our town every day but I do notice, I think, a lessening in their number. If you want a taste of those numbers, park near St. Catherine's at the intersection of the Post Road and Riverside Avenue at 8 in the morning and count how many turn into Riverside. Multiply that by 5 and Bob's your uncle!
Here's another neat trick. Use the website above to navigate and see how many households in Greenwich proper have 5 or more cars: 199 households(owner-occupied and rental) 995 cars. Remind me to stay away from the Back Country on Sundays.

Well, doesn't one need a cute pickup or van to go to the dump with our "donations" and recyclables, ie: cardboard, from all those UPS del'ys from on line shopping, newspapers/magazines, that you don't want to "tie up"...
then we need a car to go park at the station, then another one to haul the kids around in, and another for those older "kids"..then another one to toot around the back country, hair, or what's left of it, blowing in the wind...and then the wife has to have her "club car".. shall I go on??
