Environmentalist wackos are going around 'ticketing' SUVs to send a message to drivers as to just how much they waste the earth's resources. The mock tickets resemble real parking tickets, and read SUV drivers the riot act for their social irresponsibility.
I wonder just who is reading the enviro-wackos the riot act for all the paper they waste. What about the litter from the tickets that blow off windows, or get tossed on the ground as a direct result of the pleasure police ticketing campaign. Of course, if I catch them messing with my SUV, I may just read them the riot act personally. Those little twits aren't going to tell me what I can or cannot drive.
They whine about SUV drivers putting others on the road at risk, because of the sheer size of the vehicle. With all the trucks, buses, and vans on the road, just why are SUVs the ones being targeted? Mostly it all boils down to class envy and an attack on capitalism. If these nuts had their way we'd all be driving Yugos. Of course, there'd be a lot more of them on the road, because they only seat 3 and a half people, but that's ok with them.
My SUV is a lot like my gun. If they want me to give it up, they're gonna have to kill me for it. Of course, I'll probably just drive over their little-narrow-yugo-drivin' ass.
SUVs only come into their own on our Autobahns. There is nothing quite like driving one of these babies at 120 mph (just don't ask about the mileage).

As for gas, at ~$5 per gallon, I won't bother to ask.

There is, I am sure, an environmentalist equivalent to "Physician, heal thyself." And no doubt it contains a four-letter verb.
