Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I had a Saturn SUV crossover which I loved. Started feeling guilty about my environmental footprint and so got the Prius. As I said, I don't drive that much. ....
A friend related a similar story to me a few years back about her husband's car trade (but the other car was a gas hog, big old Caddy/Buick?). I love noting counter-intuitive things and cognitive-dissonance, so I said to her:
Now, he doesn't drive many miles, so what if the person he sold the old gas hog to drives a lot? Won't that mean that overall, more gasoline will be used and burnt up now that bought the Prius?
I got a scrunched up look while she contemplated this, so I just changed the subject and poured another drink. OK, I get my kicks in weird ways!
