Hypocrite on wheels
Last night, on the way home, going through Cleveland Heights, I was behind a spanking-new big black pickup with a matching cap and a bunch of lefty/greenie bumper stickers. OK, he's got his, I've got mine; it's all good. But two of them were anti-SUV stickers.
Hold on a minute.
An SUV is basically a car-ish/van-ish thing on a truck chassis. They get about the same milage as a pickup. They're styled like a pickup. So if he has a hardon about SUVs, why is he driving this?
Some people have working trucks. This was not a working truck. If you're loading things into a pickup, dings and scratches are inevitable. Maybe he felt he needed it to take his St. Bernard to the vet. I dunno. But I know working trucks. I have one: a '91 Ford F150 with advanced cancer and about 200K miles on it. I use it for hauling, and as a backup vehicle. While it doesn't get horrible milage, I don't drive it unless I have a reason to drive a truck. And getting to work is not a reason to drive a truck unless the Aspire (39 mpg highway) is down. I believe that because I respect the Earth. What the anti-SUV guy believes....I have no idea.
