Thank you! Though I'm in my early 50's I still get asked out by much younger and attractive guys. I take a pass right now. I've had my relationships, but never wanted to marry. And, I'm heterosexual. I don't feel I need marriage. I'm happier single. I don't care what the statistics say, LOL.
I don't like trucks or large SUVs and so I don't buy them. True, some of the people who drive them have a negative attitude,...but no more than your average sports or luxary car owner. However, Prius drivers are in a class by themselves. Some are not only rude, they are also obnoxious in that they think they're better for having chosen a Prius and expect others to do as they say (drive Prius) when in fact they don't want everyone driving Prius because that will make then the same as everyone else. They prefer to lecture us on how great they are.
I drive a 2003 Chevy Malibu. Without the AC, I average 23 to 24 mpg in mostly city driving. Instead of changing the vehicle, I changed how I drive.

I have to say that there is a need for big trucks for some people. Construction work; farm and ranch work; or if you need to pull a trailer. I have not problem with that. I do sort of crack up at those guys who drive a Lincoln 'truck'. hehehe Crazy.
Well, I do want to say that. From a libertarian point-of-view, you don't necessarily have the right to pollute the air that others have to breath.
With that said, I cannot lie, I hate the way cars smell when they drive passed me. Nothing irritates me more than when I'm walking down a sidewalk on a beautiful day, then all the sudden either a diesel truck or an old car that isn't running well drives past me and pours horrible smelling smoke pollution into my face. But even a car that is in good running condition still stinks, and its smell certainly impacts the other people in this world.
So while I'm not trying to defend this woman, because her behavior isn't exactly admirable(swearing, hateful, etc). I do understand the frustration of seeing a large vehicle pull up next to you and unnecessarily stink up the place, spewing out pollution which has helped to send the rates of breathing disorders(like asthma) to record levels.
You're not even remotely in the same universe as a libertarian.
The root word in libertarian is liberty.
I have the "liberty" to spew diesel fumes, you have the "liberty" to move away from it.

So... Liberty means rearranging your life so other people can be jackasses? Shouldn't she have a right to breathe clean air? I didn't watch the video, but who was parked there first, if she was, the shouldnt the maroon with the disel move?

Unless he was violating the law, then no, he had every right to sit there and run his vehicle, even if it did annoy some people.
