Reasons I own a 4x4 V8 Gas guzzling pick up:

-4X4=ground clearance=good for camping and fishing.

-V8= more torque to pull my 3500 pound boat through the Rocky Mountains.

-pickup bed= more room so I can develop my basement, haul my ball stuff , hual camping crap etc etc (ohh and it's a hell of a lot easier to throw all my shit in the back of the pick up than anything else I've ever owned).

All around good vehicle for the crappy weather we get here in Calgary. You own chains? Good for you, get out and put them on in -45 degree weather. Hey, I can afford it so why can't I drive it?

What about all the contractors/farmers that have to own a big V8 etc etc to do work? Should they be taxed just like the soccer moms out there that use it?

P.S. It's not me that I'm worried about in my vehicle, I haven't been in an accident for over ten years. It's the moron in the other vehicles out there. I think we all call this defensive driving..........
