[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you all own giant farms? Where do you drive your car off of the road? This is so strange.[/quote]

Seriously.  Almost no 4WD/AWD in the country ever are driven off road.  They are purely vanity cars.

Why does anyone in this region need an AWD or a high clearance car?  Maybe once every 3 or 4 years do we get enough snow where it is needed.

But hey lets look like a bunch of tools who can't resist slick marketing campaigns driving around in our gas guzzling steel boxes compensating for something while we kill our planet.

If that was my daughter I'd talk to her about the planet and having some common sense about what she needs rather than being insecure and thinking her self worth is tied up in what she drives.[/quote]

I'm not compensating for anything. I'm enjoying myself. I like driving up rocky/muddy trails in Virginia or Pennsylvania, and going camping way up high in the mountains at GWNF, in places that are too far up into the mountains to hike to with a campsite worth of gear. We bring our huge 18" reflector telescope and look at stars and galaxies and nebulae, stuff you can't see without being way up in the mountains above the valley fog and far from city lights.

Just because you personally don't like it, doesn't mean others don't - or shouldn't - enjoy it.

Frankly, you sound like an unpleasant, joyless loser. Constantly casting aspersions on others and judging them. You not liking something is hardly a reliable barometer for normal people.  [/quote]

Well at the very least you are compensating for your families inability to pack in your own gear when you go car camping - our family hauls our own stuff on our back rather than patting ourselves on the back for bringing the ills of technology to the backcountry and there is really not much that is more unnecessary or wasteful than a gas guzzling SUV.

The worst intrusions you get in the back country in the US (though not in other countries where people have actual common sense about this stuff) is from fossil fuel jocks in their SUV's or ATV's tearing up the wilderness and bringing noise and pollution all while convincing themselves how progressive and outdoorsy they are because they have the machismo to press on the gas pedal.

No doubt you like it and think it is cool but it is destructive and wasteful.  The only silver lining is virtually no one actually takes their Jeeps (or any other SUV's) off road though that just reinforces the stupidity and selfishness of people sitting in traffic on the beltway burning up fossil fuels in their vanity trucks.[/quote]

:lol: No one takes their Jeeps off road... are you so sure about that given you've never been?[/quote]
