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.

    So Mograine16 drives a SUV, but likes to lie about it.

    I've been offroad many, many times. I drive an AWD. If you took time to actually read before spouting off, you'd discover that I've lived a rural lifestyle all my life and have made plenty of compromises.

    I'm honest. Are you?

    No, you are not. You drive a SUV, yet you pretend it's something else.

    An AWD, (All Wheel Drive for those that don't know) is a SUV.

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

    Not me, mate. I have a AWD. I can rescue myself. Plus I'm in the Southern hemisphere. We'll see how much good that SUV does you when the Greenland ice sheet slides off into the North Atlantic Current.

    -- Morgaine16

    Keep telling yourself that an AWD isn't a SUV, you've almost convinced yourself.

    The I doubt you know much about vehicles, since I wrote that mine has a center locking differential, which would only be on an all wheel drive vehicle, or AWD as you like to say.

    So, see, we DRIVE THE SAME TYPE OF TRUCK.

    The difference is I don't pretend that mine's not a SUV, and yes you are petty because you try to pretend you are above everyone else, when you drive the same type of vehicle.
