The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier. (english.elpais.com)

No, the ignorant one would be you thinking that I, my wife or anybody else needs to “justify” what they buy to anybody.

The whole point of my previous comment was that you don't need to justify your SUV (or your truck) and you should just own your decision and let the rest of us think of you as an asshole. I'm going to be nice and assume you just wanted to repeat my own point back to me, you know to show that you do in fact have reading comprehension.

But it seems you missed something the first time so I'm going to rephrase the following using more plain words - the reason this thread exists in the first place is because you wanted to justify your SUV. For some reason you didn't take your own advice (about not needing to justify some things) because we wouldn't be here if you did. But here's to hoping that next time you take your own advice before you let your fragile ego write the comment.

and you should just own your decision and let the rest of us think of you as an asshole.

The only people that would think somebody is an asshole for choosing a vehicle they personally didn't want would be judgemental assholes themselves that try to shame people they disagree with and try to use social pressure to push their hive mind on others.

The last thing I am is fragile, I'm not the one that's offended by others vehicle choices.

Enjoy your wimpy little Prius though.

Alright, explain the reasoning of your first comment in this thread. Because in that comment you're justifying owning an SUV, but now you're saying you don't need to justify it. Clearly you felt the need to do it the first time around? I don't see how that's not a sign of a fragile ego.
