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.

    Me? I don't care either way

    Mostly I hate being unable to see over or around all the big ass vehicles from the confines of my little Toyota (which gets 31mpg @80mph on cruise control w/ 3 people in the car) or worse, my scooter. I mean if you need a fat ass car you need a fat ass car. It's not a reason to kill yourself. When I go to Whole Foods what I see is mostly upper tier foreign sedans like Volvo, Benz, Infinity, Lexus. If driving a 400hp car that's still a car makes you feel good about yourself, have at it. In 1996 I bought a Honda Accord and the dealer wanted to push me into a Volvo Turbo Wagon. I don't need turbo to go to the grocery store.
