If we are talking about status symbols and SPS (Small penis syndrome) then I agree. But if it's pollution and the waste of a scarce resource then I'd have to say that cars are not the issue, it's power plants that give us all the power needed for the A/C systems that have to run 24/7 for most of the year because houses and building are not designed with an insulating system that saves energy, I live in a brand new bungalow on alwaab and if I turn off my AC unit for 5 minutes the room temperature goes up fast and exceeds the outside temperature.
And don't even get me started on water waste....
