Very interesting discussion. I live in Dayton, Ohio, a pretty middle class town, but in the south suburbs a very affulent area with a lot of nice cars. I see literally hundreds of soccer moms driving (usually alone) in giant pearl white Escalades, or something similiar, getting 8 mpg. Frankly, the waste of such huge vehicles appalls me. I believe that driving a reasonable fuel efficent sports car makes economic as well as enviromental sense, over and above whatever pleasure we derive. And, like most of us in this group, I work hard, my wife works hard, we pay taxes, send our kids to college, and pay the price for the American dream. Anybody wants to ******************** at me for my taste in cars can go F*** themselves and the Chevette they rode in on.
