Well this is a thread I'd have been better off having not read.
There is similar debate over here about large vehicles on suburban roads.
I agree that some people would be better off saving the environment and the rest of society by buying something they can more easily drive.
At the same time, large vehicles were originally built for a purpose, and that was for towing, off roading etc. We're considering buying a 4x4 because we want to get a bigger boat, but we wont be able to tow it unless we have a bigger vehicle. Alternatively, maybe we'll just get an even bigger boat and moar it instead.
btw, I'm the one that does all the towing too, so I have a right to comment on this issue.
