Sorry but I'm going to buy what I want with the money that I work hard for. If seeing someone driving a fast car actually makes you angry, you have problems. Mind your own business, and let people enjoy the things they work for.
No offence, this is the part I thought seemed a bit defensive, but that could have been my perception.
Secondly, I didnt mean to imply your car is the fastest, most polluting car out there, but in my oppinion it sure as hell doesnt help. The word "your" in the sentence you quoted was subjective, not denotive, and was not directed at you.
Third, I am refering, as I stated specificly, to the "family market", meaning average household vehicles that happen to take up over 90% of oil consumption in the US, NOT trucks or heavy equipment.
I am not even trying to get onto or against people who drive for pleasure/fun/ego boost/penile extension. I am "going off" about how the market is controlled by the industry, not the consumer consensus. I will love the day when I see drifters, nascar good 'ole boys and formula 1 richboys all racing in the Hydrogen/Electric or (drumroll please) cold fusion vehicle categories!
Ok... Cold fusion? now I have gone completely into the realm of science fiction, I know...
Still, although I dont subscribe to any form of motorsport, I will say again I dont CARE what individuals do, because they will do it anyway no matter how hard I rant. I DO care about the environment, and the large corporations that lobby and get laws tweaked their way so they can do what they like to it.
Ok ok... shutting up now...
