I find that shallow and pedantic
I think I'm getting ready to be done with my car. It still runs great after 24oK miles, but the stuff besides the engine is breaking down. The brakes started acting up again and its been too cold to fix them. My power steering pump is bad, etc etc.
So I think this spring we are looking to sell of the car and buying something else. And I'm actually leaning towards an SUV. Should I feel guilty about this?
I'm having a huge ethical dilemma about it: the classic Me first/hug the earth. I work hard and want to reward myself for that. But as a country, we are killing our own in order to fill up our 40 gallon tanks. Jessica and I do alot of outdoor activities, and this will increase once we are back in the midwest. But its not like we are hiking Mt Reiner every weekend. I feel like the second I buy an SUV, I've officially turned my back on the liberal I was in college.
Yes, I know there are green friendly options out there, but right now, they are out of my price range. The Highlander and Escape Hybrids are still like 30K, and on top of that, in their first year of production. I like to have the kinks worked out before I buy.
Not sure what I'm going to do. But right now, I have that college liberal in a corner with a knife to his throat. Not looking good for him.

Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!
Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero!
[Krusty:] Hey Hey
The Federal Highway comission has ruled the
Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving.
