I thought these tickets were great. If this idiot works in Aberfoyle, why doesn’t he live nearer instead of slap bang in the middle of Glasgow?
How do you, or these knobbers, know that he didn’t used to work near where he lived, but had to take a different job further out and buying a big car and driving was cheaper than the cost and hassle of moving house? Or maybe it’s a temporary contract and he’s only got the car whilst on the contract? You don’t know, and neither do they. You and they are simply being self-righteous and deciding how big a car people should be allowed to drive (here’s a hint, they’ll never say that their own car is too big, no, only other people’s that are bigger than theirs – funny that).
Idiotdogbrain- why do you have such a big car? Unless you’re a farmer or similar it’s extremely unlikely you need the size or the off road capability every day. You could rent something bigger as and when you need it.
Because we wanted it, and there’s no law against it – beyond that, it is (strangely enough) none of your business, is it? We both eat a plant-based diet, don’t take overseas holidays, and don’t have kids – all of which reduce our carbon footprint more than the difference in emissions.
Actually, we have it because we have horses, and have a trailer that needs a tow vehicle with a substantial towing weight, and the GC was the cheapest, most reliable we could get for the money. On several occasions we’ve needed to get one of the horses to the emergency vet hospital near us, and having the facility to do that could be the difference between them living or dying. If we needed to do that and some arsehole had let the tyres down because they had decided that we shouldn’t be allowed to drive it, then they’d be regretting it for the rest of their existence.
You don’t know what reason someone has for having a particular mode of transport, nor do you know whether it might be needed in an emergency.
