So they only need it in some situations. Because you dont need something all the time doesn't mean you shouldn't have it. Its in our nature to use things we dont need. Got the v6 in your Honda instead of the I4? Theres little excuse for you to be driving some rediculously overpowered car when there is a cheaper more eco-freindly engine option. Went for the leather? Absolutely no reason the cloth interior wouldn't have been sufficient to keep your ass in teh seat, and it would have saved a cow and some production costs.
Society is full of crap we dont NEED. But who are you, or anyone, to say that because they dont need it all the time they shouldn't buy it? Im sure neither you, i, or anyone else on this board is living the most minimalistic lifestlye. So why should we go around bashing peoples choices of unnecesarry objects? Would you rather they get a small car, and instead run a bunch of computers, tvs, and A/C all day? They would be as much of a problem to society and nature. But hey, it doesn't directly affect you, so its ok?
Maybe this turned into an irrelevant rant, but i just cant fathom how anyone can presume to know enough about those around them to judge what they should be allowed to buy/drive.
