  I agree in principle, but I do think people should be shamed for endangering others because they want to feel cool. Large SUVs and trucks are much more dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists and such than normal cars.

  Sports cars aren’t inherently more dangerous for others unless you fuck with them or drive like a cock.

  There are still pressing environmental reasons to shame people for driving very inefficient cars when they don’t need one.

    Yeah, I agree on the larger environmental goals and necessity. I suppose what I’m getting at is more of the part that feels like normative pressure and shaming eccentricities. As in, the same thing that has contributed to car colors becoming more and more bland over the years too. There’s a pressure for conformity that pushes people back into their box when they stick a toe out.

  I don’t think it’s weird for people who are pedestrians, have children, or care about the environment we live in to have some pretty strong opinions on this. Your choice to drive a big ass truck has a real implications for other people that didn’t get to play a part in that decision.

    I figure it’s mostly in good fun, just banter. You know, like jokes about your cutting edge gaming PC being used for retro games.

  What’s wrong with a standard beige sedan?

  Infiniti M37x is a delightful beige sedan. Big comfy, quiet, a delight in so many ways.
