[QUOTE="JackMe, post: 2597727, member: 882867"] actual utility? BIRG = basking in reflected glory (see psychology) Who truly needs all that cargo space when so many of them are work commuters? Who really wants to shell out ridiculous amounts for fuel? Why are so many "off road" SUVs routinely spotless with shiny rims? And why would anyone put low-profile tires on an "off road" vehicle? (see dented rims) 67Bronco, you merely changed the subject. I am looking for an actual answer (which is why I asked a question). If I'm on to something, let me know. 67Bronco, in answer to your own question, I care because U.S. oil production peaked 40 years ago and many people are using more than their fair share of that finite resource. World oil production may have already peaked around 2006, and is certainly getting close, if not. If someone drank excessive water from a town's only well, they'd be perceived as selfish for the same reason. And then there's this thing call AGW... [/QUOTE]
