[ My older sister, a lifelong liberal, came to visit me yesterday. Less than a year ago she made the statement that a family should not be allowed to own more than one car. ]

I own TWO vehicles, GASP!!! And I am the only one who drives them!!!!

I am so evil!

I own a Car and a late 80’s Chevy pickup truck.

I almost always drive my car everywhere, to work, to get groceries shopping etc... Because it gets good gas mileage and has air conditioning!

I only drive my truck when I need something moved or am helping friends move something like I did the other day. Because it gets mediocre gas mileage.

I am “Greener” than a DOPE who drives around an SUV all the time like a car and only uses the UV part of it once in a blue moon.

Of course I don’t care if an SUV owner wastes extra gas as it is their money.

Also when my car has broken down a time or two I have “A BACKUP VEHICLE!” Something single SUV owner doesn’t heh!

This farm girl is FULL of common sense!

I’m a carpenter/contractor, so I need a full size pickup truck for business reasons. I work all over the metro DC area. My wife works as well. I drive a 4WD F150 Supercab and my wife drives a Subaru Forester. I asked her how we can own one vehicle when I may have to be 25 miles away by 7:30 AM, and my wife needs to be in her office at 8:30 AM. She said, “You’d figure it out if you had to.”
