This is the perfect example of one of my gripes. Typical rich vs. poor hypocrisy. You feel that just because someone has money is the only reason they are entitled to drive a nice car that gets "bad" gas mileage. But those people who are "poor", meaning they are on the edge and rising gas prices can really effect their budget, should have to drive some small, gutless, POS (and like it) just to make you feel better. Even better you think that they should have to live within some distance from their job, without even considering if they can afford to do so.
The classic "Do as I say, not as I do" because "I can afford not to have to do the same".

Your specific instance seems like a valid case for ranting though.

Your reading a bit to much into my statement. Moreover, I assure you, the persons that sparked this thread CAN afford it.
Part of your statement, about the less wealthy having to drive "some small, gutless, POS ", well.......yeah. Its called capitalism. Our social/governmental system rewards certain behaviors and skills, and part of that reward is the ability to afford a more luxurious car. So what? Are you advocating some kind of automotive socialism?
"just to make you feel better" ??????????????????
Have to many espresso shots? Where are you getting that man? I never said anything suggesting that I take pleasure in other people misfortune.
Now with all that out of the way, lets be clear: The poor can kiss my ass.
