Muenkel 0 #1 April 9, 2002 I finally did something that will make you tree huggers happy. I traded in my SUV yesterday and purchased a vehicle that gets 33 mpg. I didn't cave to any of your pressure. I was just simply bored with the vehicle.The bad news is since I traded it in, someone else will buy it and waste all that gasoline. Maybe it would have been better if I just buried it in a field...but then the oil and gas will leak into the soil and contaminate the earth...either way we are just screwed.Skydivers...they're just plain cool!Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lummy 4 #2 April 9, 2002 The proper way to dispose of an SUV is a Viking funeral.....baby's hungry and the money's all gone. the folks back home don't want to talk on the phone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbarnhouse 0 #4 April 9, 2002 well humph!I just purchased a new (old) suburban soley for the purpose of skydiving. Gas guzzling, ugly, rusting old POS. But now I won't worry if someone opens a door and hits it, backs into it or anything else. My nicer vehicle will stay safe at home.I figure I contribute to helping the environment with the recycling program. I'll damn well drive what I want.Hope that you enjoy your new ride!CheersIt only takes a little pixie dust...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingbunky 3 #17 April 9, 2002 i used to have a car that my cow-orkers described as the pos car, taken from the adam sandler song. it was a 1990 ford tempo, sold it for $75, and almost felt bad taking the money. i tried to talk the guy out of it, the floor was rusted through, the exhaust had broken off due to a broken motor mount, the was no battery, it had no power and leaked oil like crazy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~bunkyget crazy, before it gets you.
