And I hate their blue-rich eye searing headlights to.

    " everyone should do thing!

    But not me, I have a particular circumstance that means I need to exempt myself from the logic!

    I plan to stop in the future but for now am certain!

    "

    Everyone buying these cars has some reason that matters to them. They all believe they need it.

    Myself included (similar reason, dogs, kids, family out of state that we need to help often), but I have no illusions that I took the dirty way.

      The key words here are “matters” and “need”.

      I bought the car I have today because driving my small 4 door hatchback was no longer a feaseable endeavour when wanting to move the entire family all at once. It was an objective need, not something it mattered.

      You can reply I didn’t need to get a family or the dogs. You’re right. But that actually mattered to me, regardless if it was an objective need.

        As I said, I’m in the same spot.

        My point is that 99.9% of large car owners have what to them seems like an objective need. Humans are super good at justifying our actions, especially to ourselves
