  •  It must be in the Bible somewhere (7+ / 0-)

    That God will reward good people with larger vehicles. Everyone in Montana has a large truck or SUV, whether they need them or not!

    •  Same here in Texas (10+ / 0-)

      I drive an Explorer and it is a small vehicle down here.  When I replace it, it will definitely be with a hybrid!

      That evacuation mentioned upthread, from Hurricane Rita - remember that fiasco?  People stuck for  hours and hours on the freeways out of Houston? Why?
      The multiple car households just HAD to get EVERY car on the road....no piling the entire family into one enormous vehicle!! Dad in his mega-cab towed his boat, Mom was in her suv, grandma in her sedan, the teenagers in their own cars....how many families like that?  Crazy. The entitlement and "I got mine!" attitude of so many greedy people is just breathtaking!!!  And sickening.

      Obama's my candidate! Fired up in Texas - let's turn Texas BLUE!

        Was the first year in fifteen years that I have not had a pickup truck in Montana. We got rid of our truck (13mpg) and our Subaru (20mpg), and got a diesel van camper (17mpg) and a Honda Element (27mpg).

        When we can't walk to work or the grocery store, we use the Honda around town and save the van for longer camping trips, where it gets much better mileage than our truck did.

        People think you are a little weird not to have a pickup truck here in Big Sky Country!

          Hence, my "pogo-stick" remark. If you're going to act strange, may as well go all the way.
