Who's even going to buy a NEW gas guzzling car in this economy ?

    I actually replaced my suv with a full sized truck last year. Funny enough my average mileage went up from 17 to 28mpg. Hybrids rule.

    (Yes, 28 is still shit, but much better and more useful shit than I had before).

    Men whose entire identity is tied with what truck they drive. Its absolutely insane how pervasive this shit is.

    A friend of mine is has super restricted finances because he has a kid and a truck. He wants a house but can't afford it because his truck costs him almost $1k/month. I've hinted that he should ditch the truck but he just can't bring himself to do it. Everyone at work drives big trucks so he feels like he has to as well to fit in.

    It's completely fucked.

    It is sad and unhealthy financially and emotionally, this conditional belonging all life long, afraid to do what they want or makes sense financially, how to not have courage and integrity with this one weird trick!
