I’ve noticed it bad here in Cali, had allot of relatives say they need a bigger car so they can see over all the cars, fucking idiots.

How else can you make sure the pedestrian is dead when you hit them? Otherwise they might sue you for medical injuries since we don’t have universal healthcare.

Turns out you don’t need to see “over” other cars if you don’t tailgate so fuckin hard.

I went from a 2 litre saloon to a 1.6 SUV. I think they suck like but their physical size, albeit a problem, is not directly related to their pollution.

SUVs are heavier. More mass equals more energy to produce and move. More energy is more pollution.

Yeah that is true but I dont think it is a given that they are heavier. An awful lot of SUVs are just hatchbacks on stilts advertised as such to help people keep up with the jonses.
