High gas prices and morons.

A waste of money on shiny things

It amazes me at how so many people buy big, gas guzzling SUVs, never go off road with them and race down the highway like fuel is free or something.
With gas prices higher than ever, (if prices were FM stations they'd be off the dial) I don't know how those SUV pukes can afford it.

I drive at a fairly good clip on the highway and it never ceases to amaze me at all the big ass SUVs and 4X4 pickups (of which Alberta has many) that blow by at speeds best reserved for sports cars. The sports cars seem to drive at a more normal pace....go figure.
Firstly, these things do not handle well, secondly...you are wasting fuel! Thanks for driving up the demand and thus the cost ya knobs!!

What is even more annoying, to me anyway, is these pimped out SUV types that take a perfectly good off road vehicle-truck and mess it up with hip-hop crap like spinners, low profile tires, BIG steroes, shiny add ons and anything else that is not practical on an off-road vehicle.
Look at the hummer in the pic. One of the best off road vehicles and now its useless.... and UGLY. Where are you going to go with those tires homie? Why not just buy a souped up car you goof?
They took a perfectly good Hummer and made it into a disco ball on wheels. What's next? Put a trailer hitch on a Ferrari and tow a camper trailer?

Okay, enough bitching. I just fueled up my little 4 banger and was shocked that my trusty, economical truck now takes over 50 bucks to fill!!?!? WTF??

So to all you SUV and big 4X4's that come screaming up my ass on the highway (while I am already over the speed limit), please excuse me as I take my sweet-ass time moving over. Just trying to reduce the fuel demand....one knob at a time.

There....that felt better!
