And by that measure it could be said that "Liberals" driving tiny, lawnmower-motor-powered cars are not using gasoline "liberally" either. I would imagine that most Conservatives don't consider their SUV's to be a 'waste' of gas either, but an entirely valid use for it, in that it provides a means of 'conserving' their families by providing a safer environment for them than the tiny cars do.

Doesn't matter to me really, its your wallet not mine, just saying.

Doesn't matter to me really,

I'm sorry to hear that, given the fact that you took the time to submit a post here.

 its your wallet not mine,

Indeed it is, thankfully, and many people who "waste" their money on a car bigger than a rollerskate view it as a perfectly sound investment.  Among other rationales, it can be viewed as a more tangible sort of life insurance....many of us prefer paying a bit more up front than paying for completely unnecessary injuries suffered as a result of a needlessly damaging auto accident.  Thankfully, America is still a place where people are allowed to protect themselves and their families in this way if they so choose as opposed to being forced into tiny little cars that are totalled when they hit a bicycle or a cat.

Lying in a hospital bed while wondering whether you would even be there at all if you had opted for a slightly safer car is not the sort of question that many people enjoy pondering.

 just saying.

I'm unsure what this means, but I'm guessing that it ties in with your opening 'doesn't matter to me' disclaimer.
