Welcome aboard, Jason!
I would love to see a pic of your car if you've got one. It sunds very versatile. At one of our hybrid car events, the non-hybrid owner put on his name tag "Poser" to describe his hybrid-car owner status.
I know what you mean about seeing SUV's and Trucks being used as commuting vehicles.
I really try hard not to become frustrated when I see someone driving and SUV and there is only one peson inside. Why bother expending the negative mental energy, though. Instead I justify it in my mind by thinking more positive thoughts like
- they must be going to pick up their new gigantic boat and trailer
- perhaps they just dropped off a carload of rideshare passengers
- they must be going to pick up their new septuplets at the hospital
Really anything positive so that the negative frustration doesn't ruin my day.
Actually, I know of one person who is an undertaker. Most people don't realize that he is driving around with a coffin or two in the back of his suburban. So although it apears he's driving alone... he actually isn't. (I wonder if he can get in the HOV lane this way?)
