Original article: Did I just buy an SUV?

We love our SUVs

It's OK, I make up for him. I drive a huge Silverado (so I can tow my 25 foot, twin 250 HP outboard powered offshore center console fishing boat). The wife drives a Suburban. One daughter drives a Tahoe and the other daughter (the environmentally conscious one) drives a Trailblazer.

We make it a point to always go alone. We make frequent trip to the store for only two or three items at a time. I have made it my objective to leave as large a carbon footprint as is physically possible, consistent with my budget.

Conspicuous consumption is my life.
