no, it's the fact that in accidents (where you are not the cause), people die disproportionately under your giant vehicle. it's safer for you, but almost no one else.

and don't get me started on the environmental/political aspects.

why would someone questioning your selfish (I'm not targeting you personally, just voicing a general perspective) decision have anything to do with jealousy?

>it's safer for you, but almost no one else.

No its safe for everyone else too. It wont even let me run into a tree.

>have anything to do with jealousy

Wish I knew, its just the only thing left when driving an efficient, safe vehicle that just happens to be large.
