Well, we all face choices about where we live. And I still see no reason that any other car couldn't be used for such a commute. As I said before, if they are any safer (and safer for whom might I ask?) there must be some statistics around on this, right? I suspect that in the real world they are no safer than any other car on the road, it's just the old small penis syndrome and trying to compensate in other areas.

However, what really bugs me is all the fuel subsidies that these people get for their habits. If people really want to be irrationally wasteful it's their decision, but I don't see why the rest of us should be forced to subsidise them (especially when most of the same people think government interference in any other facet of life is akin to an act of terrorism).
