Okay Red Eye, you parked between two CARS that did not park properly. The same scenario could have happened with VW bugs!

Midchuck, I'm not trying to win! People who form opinions just to follow a party line are of no concern to me. I reviewed the options and made my decision. My Xterra and the way I drive it is not destroying the enviroment any more than a beat up old Geo that is burning oil.   I don't need a BMW or a Hummer to impress anyone. I don't buy a car to impress environmentalists or status seeking Yuppies.

Life is not black and white.
