yeah, you go ahead and do that in states like Texas, that allow a person to extract the value of their property from your life. Stinking cowards that even think about things like that deserve to be taken out of the gene pool.

Do you people who needlessly and unapologetically drive gas guzzlers want to apologize to those people whose livelihoods your habits have helped eliminate?
You can't be serious.

There really should be an IQ test requirement for membership in this forum.

In your opinion, what is the "benchmark" to identify a "gas guzzler"?

I do what I can to get more mileage from a gallon of fossil fuel. I choose to drive diesel vehicles. My car gets 48mpg and my truck 22mpg.

Now that being said I do have 5 atv's , and 3 snowmobiles in my garage and used to have an offshore powerboat so I am a bad person for wasting all this fuel... can someone please point me in the direction of somewhere where I can redeem myself ?

Oil is not driled off the coasts to fill gas guzzlers. The barrel of oil fluctuates on the market. If this oil was not added to daily world oil production, offer would go down, price would go up and eventually, someone would drill anyway to satisfy growing demands, which cars are really just a small part of.

Well, as long as you don't drive all those vehicles at the same time Most of those vehicles probably use less fuel than a Hummer.

What do you need 5 ATVs for?!
