My husband drives one. It is nice to save the gas money, and yes, it's nice to know it reduces our environmental footprint a little.
Shrug.
But, does he constantly bring it up at dinners, every trip about town, any other random occasion?!? I take the train, but don't talk about my environmental footprint every chance I get!
I know a guy who does that - also has a beard and looks like an NPR addict.
Lol

Cadillac Escalade. Purchased by drug dealers or soccer moms, invariably terrible at parking, most likely to be festooned with tacky Redskins gear or spinners, owners too stupid or loutish to buy a more classy, less pimpish car like a Range Rover, a Porsche Cayenne, or an Audi Q7. And yes, I realize those cars are all in the douche class, too, but the Escalade is the douche of the douche class.
Also, the Honda Civic is not inherently a douchey car, but it is often transformed into one by douchey owners: low-ride suspension, spoilers, souped up engine that allows their pathetic little brains to pretend they're in a Lamborghini Gallardo, and probably as many door panel colors as VINs on the parts under the hood.

How is listening to NPR a BAD thing?
I HATE when people are well informed. Those a-holes ;P

Didn't we once talk about this? Size of the blonde inversely proportional to size of SUV?

I never got the appeal of Hummers. I drove a Humvee in the service, and while they're good for off road, they're rather punishing to drive.
They also do surprisingly poorly in crash tests.
Mine got 5 stars - bizarre....

I know, right? The docs and nurses i shift back and forth feel just like you do, I'm sure.
Being from New Englad, i appreciate a truck. So does the medical field
I'm in the medical field in DC, which is where this forum is based, numbnuts. The fact that Montana routinely sees 2 feet of snow on the mountain is moderately interesting, and completely irrelevant.
For the past 16 years, to get to my hospital in Bethesda from my home in DC, I have driven my sedan in all weather. All -DC- weather.
Exactly nobody in my staff parking garage drives a Hummer. Now back to my lecture notes.
And during larger storms here, I have helped drive for hospitals. Your experience does not change others' experiences. Should I stop helping your colleagues because you can get home?
When you grow up in consistently bad weather and have to consistently navigate it, you get really good at it. And appreciate proper tools. During the big 2' storms a few March's ago, I can guarantee your sedan was not able to drive up and down unplowed streets. You simply would not have the clearance. My truck did, which is how I got those doctors and nurses home safely.
