Keeping up with the Neighbors?

Question

I live in California and see my neighbors driving big trucks and sport utility vehicles when the price of gas has gone up to $3.51 a gallon. Why is it so important for them to

impress their neighbors? They are suffering by having to spend more money in gas.

Answer 1

This is America, high gas prices or not many people still drive gas guzzlers.

Answer 2

do you really think they're trying to impress you?

if they are, it's their "my toys are bigger than yours"

isssue.  oh well, let them keep feeding their gas

guzzlers - it's their problem.  there's a lot of huge

vehicles in my hood too & its crazy to see how they

have to get creative with their parking!
