I'm shocked that we taxpayers are paying anything for congresscritters to lease cars.
I'm not necessarily against "for official use" vehicles for them, but like I said, have a GSA pool so it's one vehicle per congressman plus aides. I used to order the GSA vehicles for my office. The most expensive vehicles I ordered were the larger Suburban/Expeditions with 4WD that we used for emergency response and occasionally hauling smaller vessels. They were a "specialty vehicle" that ran around $350/mo plus mileage IIRC. They were also shared by an entire office. Something like a Ford Focus ran around $120/mo, and a passenger minivan around $200.To get up to $1000/mo they'd about have to be (if using GSA) leasing something like a Lincoln Towncar and driving at least a couple thousand miles a month.
I borrowed a GSA from Navel Special Warfare for a week while we were supporting their training. It was a brand new F150 Raptor SOCOM gets all the goodies.

I read some time last year that the Border Patrol has and loves Raptors.
Certainly no Democrat would use a fossil fuel-burning, greenhouse gas-causing, globular-worming, male privilege automobile.

Hey, you're the tech guy. How do we restrict font size to 20 or lower?
Then you old farts can't read it. Addendum: I'm quite annoyed that all this humor is wasted with people viewing from Tapatalk.
FTFY
Politicians love to push for underutilized mass transit options in areas it doesn't make sense already, just wait until they have to use them exclusively. They'll be voting for light rail everywhere.
Not even one vehicle per congresscritter . . .
