My Car

I have a Prius.  I love my car.  It’s like driving around a little computer.  But why did I buy it?  Did I buy it as a statement about the environment?  While I care about the environment, no I did not.  No, I bought my car because it made more financial sense to me to buy a hybrid than it did for me to keep my SUV.  You see, I drive a lot.  And I spend way less money on that car than I did on my last car when you include gas.  So if you drive a big SUV and I mention my Prius then please don’t feel the need to apologize or rationalize your car.  You see, it’s really not necessary to do so because I made a financial decision.  If it makes sense for you to make a similar decision then you will.  If not, then you won’t.  But you need not explain anything to me as I am not even remotely going to pass judgment on you.  🙂
