Did I just buy an SUV?

I didn't mean to. I am an environmentalist. Really. But before I knew it, there it was, in front of my house.

    Morgaine is your typical faux "environmentalist"

    Well, why don't you get that tattoed on your body somewhere ... so that when the crunch comes we know not to let YOU into the environmental refugee camps.

    Camps I'm sure you'd like to set up.

    Mine even gets horrible gas mileage by SUV standards. 15 mph would be a godsend, and it's not easy to get in and out of

    So you couldn't find one that does better? Or is it more satisfying to piss off other people than to save yourself money and convenience?

    No, I couldn't find a SUV that's gets better gas mileage than the one I have, that's meets my needs.

    Exactly, how many SUVs have locking center differentials? Do you even know what that means? I seriously doubt it.

    You've never been off-road, you have no idea about the vehicular requirements needed to traverse anything above class 3.

    My 30 mile my daily commute not only doesn't warrant buying another car, I sold my truck that got 25 mph, even with it being paid off, because the $100 in insurance more than ate up any gas savings

    WHO's the asshole?

    Wait, I'm supposed to buy or keep a car, LOSING MONEY DOING SO? Is that really your argument?

    Some asshole environmentalist even keyed my car once.

    How do you know it was an environmentalist? Maybe it was someone who just hates YOU. It's not that hard to believe.

    Oh, it was an "environmentalist" like you. Someone who is too short-sighted and petty to actually know anything.

    Oh, BTW, I'm sure they do hate me, same as you, because they see SUV and see hate, because they are petty.

    As I wrote, none of you complain when you're stuck in the snow and I have to come rescue you.

    What a dickhead.-- Morgaine16

    Pretty much describes you, very true.
