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.

    ZOMG! An SUV! Yer the devil!

    Wow there's a lot of whining here.

    Why my family and dog got around in a 2 seater going on 12 hour monthly trips in 5 ft of snow towing a trailer! And let me tell you about school... I walked uphill both ways in snowbanks taller than I was! Did I fail in my "Look at me!" argument?

    Oh, and AWD does not equal an SUV. My Audi has quattro and it's far from an SUV.

    Anyway, the guy bought an SUV and it doesn't sound like he uses it a lot. I mean, maybe he should've bought a cheaper mtn bike and donated the money saved to Green Peace or whatever too.
