Does anyone else feel a kind of unintentional joy when considering

[Flabbergasted]

all the people driving V8 SUVs currently. When they first flaunted their wealth gas was half what it is now.

Gosh they have to be kicking themself.

I just can't help it...We are really a stupid animal all around....

1. When they have "W 04"' bumpersticker, I do feel much joy.

[Flabbergasted]

2. Got that right! LOL

[Lost-in-FL]

6. Specially HUMMERS

And the big Ta-ho's. I wish gas was $5 just for SUV drivers or that some sort of TAX is imposed on SUV's.

Sorry for those DU'ers who drive SUV. I can't help it.

8. Our SUV is a Hybrid and Gets Almost 30 MPG. Made in USA by Union Labor Too

13. "The Hummer Tax" Gas for Hummers should cost 10 TIMES...

the amount that everyone else pays. That will rid us of those horrible Hummers.

[Stinky The Clown]

17. If you remember - to add insult to injury - the repubs wrote a tax

*****incentive****** toward buying a big, fat, SUV.

My 10 year old chevvy blazer that I use for legit 'truck' stuff obviously didn't qualify.

3. I smile at a Bush-Cheney bumpersticker anytime it's plastered

on an SUV, particularly those honking suburbans. Jeez, when did Mrs. Middle America need an 8 passenger truck to do her errands?

[Flabbergasted]

5. Well we really do have to prove how rich we are when going to the store.

[PublicWrath]

4. Yes, I'm coming down with a case of schadenfreude. n/t

[Ecumenist]

7. I was just talking to my husband about that on sunday

when we were out anf about. I've noticed that the cars with those bush-checy stickers have just about disappeared. I had to chuckle when I was on my into a Korean restaurant and noticed that a big black hummer had the remnants of a sticker, that was suspiciously close to one of those revolting stickers. It looked like it had been partially BUT NOT COMPLETELY scraped off. I was tickled pink...:rofl:

9. THEIR demand is driving up prices for ME.

So I laugh and cry at the same time.

[Skittles]

10. no, they make me sick

they are a symbol of America's greed and arrogance

[Flabbergasted]

11. AHHHHHH.....WHY DID YOU REMIND ME?

[nickinSTL]

12. I drove by a large house today...4 vehicles in the drive...

2 Hummers and 2 HUGE SUVs...

They deserve what they're getting, IMO.

[JackintheGreen]

14. I ride a 500cc motorcycle, rain or shine

and it gets 50+ miles to the gallon. And I still spend less that $10/week on gas

Until prolly next Tuesday.

[matt819]

15. Yes, but

Consider those of us who require pickup trucks in our work. So we bought diesel trucks when diesel was usually less than regular unleaded. And we're being screwed right along with everyone else. So, sure, I get a kick watching these folks in their Range Rovers and Hummers, but all of us are feeling the pinch.

[niyad]

16. if one can afford a hummer, one can probably afford the gas, even at

$5 gallon. it's the rest of us who are screwed.

18. There was a report on Market Place today about smaller cars and the

market now allowing for more of them to be made, etc.

I'd like to see it. It's one little step toward comprehensive energy conservation, but it's toward a good goal.
