Oh aren’t they just so smug and self-righteous? And now they are everywhere! And you know that most of them consider themselves ‘progressives’ who care so much about the environment that they’re willing to dole out $60K plus for a fucking passenger car. Because you know, they’re better than you. And they can afford it. […]
