Adam, I use every ounce of my Suburban, if you don't believe me I'll be happy to strap you to roof for the trek home to Michigan this Christmas, because that is the only spot where there will be any room. My son (18 months), and the amount of stuff he travels with fills the truck. Not to mention my stuff, my wifes stuff and we are planning another kid. And what about towing the boat and camper??? A little Honda ain't gonna cut it for that? So my Suburban isn't an ego trip, it comes from necessity, not to mention safety.

I know people will eventually realize that the implications of being wasteful are REAL, as generations pass on. It's not so much a hippie/left-wing/tree-hugging thing as it is common sense. When there's a limited resource, it's common sense to use what you need. When there's a limited resource that drives our society as we know it (the electricity that's allowing me to talk about muffins with a woman from Europe), it's common sense to try to use less than you need. Why do some people insist on using more, just because they can? That's just being a stubborn ego freak. Adam. > -----Original Message----- > From: Erika L.
