Suv Drivers
To all of the suv and minivan driving jackasses you have no right to complain about gas prices. Its you fault for picking a inefficient, dangerous stupid vehicle don’t bitch about how you need a minivan or a suv to drive little scottie to baseball. God p

You’re absolutely right. I hate those fucking gas-guzzling oversized pieces of tin and anyone who owns one and complains about gas prices should be charged twice as much – a pollution tax, so to speak.
well…I drive a big ass SUV and I love it…and I don’t complain about the price of gas! (Let’s hope you and your Smart car and I don’t meet nose to nose on the highway!)
Congrats Phil it’s nut jobs like you that global warming has come as far as it has. You should be proud…especially when your grandchildren need to live in a boat as most of the land will be swallowed up by the ocean due to the melting glaciers. You’re right smart cars may be rinky dink….but at least those people are taking the initiative to try and make a difference and reduce the CO2 emissions they are producing. BTW CO2 emissions are what cause global warming. Global warming means that glaciers are melting and the earth is getting hotter. Maybe if you can take the time to hop out of your fabulous pimpin’ SUV and take notice of world events you may realize this.
I guess you wouldn’t approve of my 400HP muscle car either! But now with the rise of water levels and all, I’ll hopefully have some waterfront soon so I can launch my powerboat right from the back yard!
Phil, you come across as a dick.
Oh no!!! Ouch…snif, snif….bite me!
FYI: It’s people like Phil that are running this country….and this would be why we are in the situation we are in today.
Well as much as you have a right to speak out against SUV’s…I have the right to drive one! like it or lump it!! so you should go hug a tree and sing koombaya!
Yes you are right, you have the right to drive an SUV if you want….we are talking about the repercussions driving SUV’s have on the environment. It’s great that you feel the need to insult me as well as others, people that are trying to be environment friendly. You people aren’t looking at the big picture….yes it’s “super cool” to drive around in your pimped out SUV but burning all that gas and polluting the air does make an effect on the environment. You can sling all the insults you want really…like I said have fun explaining to your grandchildren why they have to live on a boat..perhaps you can take lots of pics of your pimped out ride so that they can see how you contributed to the destruction of our planet. It’s sad really that so many people want to stick their head in the sand and hope the problem will go away. Even if everyone were to make one small change in their lives it would go a long way. I suppose this is like talking to a wall….besides it’s about time for me to hug a tree and sing koombaya….
Hey…who insulted who!….It seems that you all instantly resort to name calling and bashing(to wit..”jackass, nut job, dick”) when someone does not conform to your ideals. And with the inference that it’s people like “me” who run this country…better that than having you all hold the reins of the country with an army a your disposal with that level of intolerance. (ps…my grandchildren will live in a very nice boat, thank you very much)
Secret….respectfully, you are the only comment here that has any merit and intelligence and I don’t disagree with your point of view..it’s other’s who bring out my, let’s say….dickness. If that’s all they have to say, then yes, I’ll be a dick.
Hoser, sorry you feel you are being bullied. Everyone has the right to express their opinion, I was trying to make you see the other side of the coin. This is what this site is for….debate. And for the record I did not once say anything derogative. Maybe you should develop a thicker skin if you plan on coming on this site and saying things to piss people off….see your previous posts (“Oh no!!! Ouch…snif, snif….bite me!”)
Correction: I did call Phil a “nutjob”….my deepest apologies.
wow Phil’s likely a man who wishes canada was more like the US! Phil you should have your ass kicked for being a dumb fuck. We are running out of oil! Why do you think the US is in Iraq to liberate them…. If you actually believe that you do not deserve to vote but anyways I think SUV Tax is a fantastic idea it would go toward developing alternative fuels or something. However having a classic muscle car you do not drive everyday is ok because its an occasional driver. Why do you need a suv for all that snow we had for the past 2 years jeeze…. and no you don’t need a smart car to be efficient choose a Corolla, a camry something with a 4 cylinder engine! and if you choose to drive a suv get a hybrid! I’m not driving the most efficient vehicle a 1987 Mercedes 190e 2.3 4 cylinder but at least its not a useless v8 suv that will likely never see offroad or even its 4wd!
Hey Zac…(speaking of dumb fucks)…you ought to do some homework before you sing your own praises. My suv=10.9 tonnes CO2 rating(Bad, bad, bad..yes I know..I’ve been told ad nauseum in here)Corolla= 2.9your car=9.0(and that’s in top running condition dude)… a real peach that is!
Oh…. and to all….I will seek better choices next time….geez…y’all won’t let up! 🙂
Sucks when actual facts get in the way of random complaints I guess. Could this sort of logic become a trend someday? Could even anyone perhaps admit that their perceptions have been coloured by something other than the environment in the smallest way?I think it’s a long shot.
Wow Phil…. I don’t drive much anyways and I only drive to school if its raining or -15 I actually find it amusing you compared my old car to your 02 Explorer. My car is 20 years old! You can’t really get much better when you cannot afford a newer car. My car cost me $3000 I like it. You can easily afford a better car. I would have liked a 2005 Corrola. All of the older corrollas are rusty you pretty much have to get a old nice car if you want something someone still cares about. I drive maybe twice a week. My father drives a truck but he needs it as he works in construction! hauling his tools, wood ect around. How often do you drive your suv?
Oh and my car is in top running condition the motor is excellent. as I said my car is not the most efficient. I drive twice a week 1 to get my mother a car load of grocery’s and 2 maybe a drive to school if the weather is foul
