I want to be in a safer vehicle  The height of your gas guzzler has made you less safe than a minivan or sedan of the same size and safety features.

I have a large family  The Toyota Avensis minivan gets 9L/100km city cycle, seats 7, and has the highest EuroNCAP crash test score (34/36) of any vehicle to date (Sept. 2003).

I drive a 'fuel efficient' diesel 4WD  You may warm the globe less than a Holden or Ford gas guzzler, but you produce several times more smog and death causing NO_x and PM₁₀ emissions.

I go four wheel driving   Cars make a big enough mess of our cities. Why would we want them to infest our wilderness and beaches too?  Please find another way to use your time.

I tow a boat  See the alternatives page for the legal towing ratings of some mid sized cars. Enormous motor launches and are as pointless and wasteful as SUVs.

I go fishing  Fishing predates the wheel, find another way to get to there.

I tow a jet ski Stop f&*#ing up our waterways with dirty two stroke engines.

I go skiing  Most ski fields provide busses on their access roads.  But if you really want drive up, buy a 4WD sedan, hatch, or minivan or hire chains for $5.  

I'm rich and need to show off to my neighbours  Buy a solid gold toilet, or see a priest.

Bull bars will protect me in a crash They won't, that's not what they're designed for.

I have the 'right' to buy what ever I want  You are infringing on other peoples right to breathe clean air.
