What's really interesting about the attitude of " I'll drive what I want, and if you don't like it f### you" is that its applies mainly to those who complain the loudest when its done to them...
So you have the right to do what ever it is you like.... OK fair enough... what about when others want to exercise that right and its hinders you? Are you so supportive?
Say a politician would like to raise taxes to pay for a pet project? Or your neighbour would like ot play drums in th eopen air at 0200H?
No exercising your right to do as you please has to be tempered with the knowledge that others will do unto you as you do to others...
if you want to drive an SUV that does 10 mpg, fine.... but your choice will entain consequences on your wallet or other... However for driving to the shops or to work, as the primary task, the vehicle should be a 35mpg machine....especially if you are alone.
Choices should be free but the consequences should also be noticeable...at the moment there are none and whilst 'your' life is important 'our' life is also important.
