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.

    Check out my SUB(V) dude!

    I really don't care that Mark Benjamin drives an SUV, but I do think this guy is a putz. Back in July when gas was pushing $4 a gallon, he wrote an article with the subtext ... look at me, I'm so cool and clever... my family car is a SUB! Now that gas prices have dropped he writes an article with the subtext of ... look at me, aren't I naughty? I drive an SUV now! Dude, you're a douche, the same kind of douche who goes veg just for the thrill of annoying others by going on about it. You haven't changed since college. I don't really care what you do, Benjamin. Like other posters on this board though, I think you're a chump for driving a Mitsubishi. Good luck with that.
