Default Re: Can't Resist This Question

Hey folks, chill-out.

The right answer is to have the right tool for the right job and sometimes that is an SUV, a Hummer stretch limo or quarter-ton truck. Heck, someone's commuting car might be out of service and a full-size RV show up . . . so what?

I don't cotton to my co-workers commuting in their dualie, cab-4 but the price they pay is at the pump. On 'casual Friday,' I wear my "50 MPG", GreenHybrid.com Polo shirt and don't give it a second thought. Oh every now and then I'll complain about having to pay $12-15 dollars to fill-up or that I've not made enough business trips so my per-diem mileage pays for all of my gas for the week.

They knew what they were buying and got what they asked for. As for me, I've got so many more interesting problems to work on that I can't really get distracted by their discomfort. Heck, most of them voted for the wrong guy, twice. As for the local skeptics, most of them I've had drive or ride in my car already and they know I paid only $17.3k.
