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.

    Wow....

    This was really a worthless article.... oh, wait, I get it now.

    All right, here you go:

    Dear Mark,
    On behalf of the yuppie community, I would like to declare that you have made the right decision. We hereby absolve you of your oppressive suburban yuppie eco-guilt.
    Please sleep well tonight, knowing that you obviously did the best to save the planet that you could. Tomorrow, we hope that you will consider using your newfound peace of mind to write an article of value to the rest of us.
