The Reason I Will Never Buy a Smart Car
Yeah, you should buy a hummer. They cost more, but youll know where that extra money went when your Hummer squashes a smart car.

And when you get in a car accident, you aren't causing their death. It's an accident, and I just want to keep my and my wife safe. It's not my fault if they buy a car with bad protection. I want a car that will keep us safe if we hit a tree, a cow, or anything. That doesn't make me a bad person.

Deer get hit where I live too. Perhaps i value my life less than you do yours, but I frankly dont care about my safety when there is a risk of killing someone else, accident or no. If i can make an accident less likely, i'll do what i can to that end. My spouse can get whatever kind of car she wants, so if she wants more protection i wont stop her, but I am not about to drive something that kills the planet and the people it runs into.

That's right. It isn't anyone's fault. However, since it is a very real possibility that you may get in an accident in your life, you should be responsible and make sure you are protected.
You would die in Texas with one of those. Every other vehicle is a pick up truck. That is what they want to drive so I don't care but I rather like my Honda Civic.

There already is a way. Biodiesel fueled trains." @RsistncE: Bull. Why doesn't everyone figure out a way for all our major companies to transport goods all around the country in a eco friendly manner before we decide that somehow consumers are at fault. I don't really to say anymore, but, I would prefer that I can buy the vehicle I want instead of some 4ft long death trap. "
Edit: Didnt mean Biodiesel, but i dont remember what the fuel was called.
if you really want to help the earth, kill all the cows.
their burps and farts are more harmful than cars. no joke.
but yea, i'm all for alternative fuels. i'm just going to wait for the technology to become practical before i jump on that bandwagon.
