Oh here we go. OF COURSE I do, it is utterly impossible to live in America outside of Manhattan without owning one. I do not have to surrender my car to argue as I am without hypocrisy. But, FWIW, it has just 4 cylinders, and I expect to keep it for at ten years. I wish I could use the train more often and that the train system were better. It should be cheaper. If you all paid a fee every time you used the highway instead of having the fee displaced to your taxes which you complain about, you would realize how expensive the car really is. Of course I am not arguing that cars are all bad and that they have no place and should never have been invented and should be abolished or that trains solve everything. The question is balance and limits and intelligence. BTW, SUV's may be safe for the people driving them (actually the safety benefits of the heavy weight are offset by the higher rollover rate) but they are killers for the people who drive normal weight cars and get hit by them.
