Default Re: Suburban Sprawl & Excess example at its' best

sardonux,

Might want to also check out I HATE This Golfcart!

Not only is it in ads, made into a billboard , and all over the toystores, but at least one member here posted they don't have a problem with anyone driving one - same one that gets defensive whenever I point out narcassictic guys driving them and and one-ton trucks merely as a commute (read: poseur) vehicle.

The best way to stop sales of poseur vehicles like these is for the general public to go from oggling them to ridicule if it really makes them significant or virile. I wish there was a regular feature on Saturday Night Live likening this to Viagra and a male boob job. If....IF there is any utility to having one of these - it's ego. If it becomes an embarrasment to have one, their only reason to have one is nuked.

61.5mpg lifetime - 82mpg in recent months
