[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don’t you choose something that won’t kill the planet? [/quote]

Ok.  Like a bike?   What is your suggestion?[/quote]

Bikes kill the planet.

You need to walk, wearing straw sandals. [/quote]

Only crawling would satisfy the sanctimonious PP.

It's funny I grew up in a part of the country that got a lot of snow and neither we, nor most of our neighbors, had SUVs.  And we did just fine.

Of course we didn't live in some house in the country or exurbs because back then only people who needed to live in the exurbs actually lived there.

But now we have entitled folks in oversized houses chewing up land in the middle of nowhere who then need to compound their negative impact on the planet by driving everywhere in an SUV.

Or maybe the OP works from home from her farm.[/quote]

People moved to the country or exurbs to get away from insufferable people like you. [/quote]

Unfortunately there is no getting away from the selfish people living in the middle of nowhere whose pollution and endless driving negatively impact the rest of us.  But hey Audi makes some great commercials that make smug people feel good about conspicuous consumption and killing the planet![/quote]

It doesn't matter what you drive vs. how much.  So, how many miles have you put on your vehicles in the past year?[/quote]

This is OP.  I have only put on about 8000 miles per year.   Since working from home (COVID) I barely drive anywhere.  And I anticipate working from home for a while, at least part-time.   Which is part of the reason I don’t need or want the cost of a car like an Audi.  And for PP, I live in the Midwest which is probably the “middle of nowhere to you”.  While I would love to have easy access to good public transportation or the ability to walk, that is not my reality at the moment.  I live in a suburb and do need a car.  I also live in an area that can get a lot of snow so AWD is important.  [/quote]
