madmax Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 I plan on Getting an SUV for my next vehics. I couldn't care less about my emisssions. It's not Canada's problem. I just purchased an SUV last Thursday. I do care about emissions. I believe it is Canada's problem as much as anyone else's whom contribute to GHG. I have no Problem with the CBC, nor am I going to lose anysleep over some book. I thought Farenheit 451 was behind us. I think you have some pent up rage and social issues. I am certain when someone offers you a job, you will be able to purchase an SUV to drive around Mississauga, where one is essential, and pollute and pay gas to your hearts content. Such rage, Such raging rage, Such outrage. Oh, I have to find those caps and colours. Quote

geoffrey Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 how is driving a 250+ horsepower vehicle with four wheel drive essential in driving around missassauga? A focus wagon will do just fine. I ditched the truck idea for a car even though I drive 'at own risk' roads twice a week... most SUV/truck drivers don't need them if I don't. My car isn't exactly a fuel highlight, 250+ horsepower still there. But it's better than many of my friends trucks on fuel.

mikedavid00 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 If you agree that the content is irrelevant and that it is just the point that they are subsidized by taxpayers' money, then why bring up the content at all? I don't think a lot of Canadians know that the gov't is in the publishing business. It was news to me. Thus, I'm against gov't funds going to all books. This book was the kicker of course. The left have an agenda to break the family, break the father figure, and break apart Christianity and Judism. (I say the latter because the left will defend Islam so they aren't nesessarily anti-religion). The left is about social control, censorship, and disctatorships. The environment first, economy last.

My car isn't exactly a fuel highlight, 250+ horsepower still there. But it's better than many of my friends trucks on fuel. the thing that bugs me about trucks is the huge demand for them. I use my truck for everything, it pulls the water trailer and cattle trailer, i haul all sorts of junk in the back, and it's off of passable roads half of the time. I literally need the 400 plus foot pounds of torque and the 4x4. It's old, 290,000 klicks on it, on motor #2, but still runs great. I'd like a new one but 60 grand for a new diesel that's more luxurious than a cadillac is ridiculous, that's approximately the cost of a regular one grrr. A gas one will run around 50 grand. A good truck back in the day was 20-30 grand tops and you got power to boot. I'm not sure if that's due to inflation. I don't know why some guy working in an office feels he needs a truck, it's honestly sickening. Good old human greed the cause of inflation.

A focus wagon will do just fine. It's not. I just want something for the kids I might have in a few years. I already have a 3.8L V6 car, so why not just get an SUV. I liked the van that had the motorized sliding door on the side.. but I swore I would never own a mini-van or put my kids in soccer. I loved the Jeep Cheroke Elderado becasue it had extrememly heavy soundproofing. It was so quiete inside. I want this I think. I just want a very soundproofed ride and extrememly soft suspendion. And an LCD would be nice too for the kids.. I like to go to StarBucks on the weekends and get my coffee and need to take the kids in and out of the vehicle.. i don't know if a small economy car would do that. Then there's strollers and stuff that need to fit in the car and be taken in and out easy. I might need to go to Bloor St, Younge St, Jarvis, Gerard, or hit the 401. This is the GTA. Any ethnic food you want in the world you can have here. All the hot latin, portrugeuse, italian second gen daughters at the mall in tight clothese. I can't have a van! Meh.. but Canada is so poor I don't know if I should have kids.

mikedavid00 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 Me, I'd like to see some evidence of such bumper stickers before I actually pass judgment on it. I guess a newpaper columist wasn't engouh. He must have been lying. Of course, a columnist that predicts global warming with no evidence, just theory.. well.. that's 'different'.

You are causing global warming and the hole in the ozone layer. How do you live with yourself? There's no excuse not to drive a hybrid you know.

Yes but the bike causes sweat wich releases CFC's into the air and creates a hole in the ozone. Also, litte droplets of oil fly off the chain and can get into the gras which kills it and causes the world to be less green. I think you should be riding a hybrid. You do want to be a Green Torontonian like me don't you? Bikes are so 80's.
