Considering getting a horse seeing as its cow town and the stampeed is just a few weeks away.

Apologies to any smarmy greens out their driving their smart cars then jetting off long haul on hols causing more polution than 1000 SUV's ever could.

Other than penis-related insecurities is there any reason why you drive such a thing?

Thanks Bazzz

Apart from the pennis issue

(i). Large family (six which is four too many for a smart car).
(ii). Travel trailer (not got yet).
(iii). 4 wheel drive for winter driving in them mountains.

Perhaps you or one of your eco tree huggers could advise of a fuel efficient vehicle that could replace this gas guzzler and still serve my requirements.

Well, you probably shouldn't have done so much breeding in the first place. The world's overpopulated enough as it is. Then you wouldn't have had this dilemma.
