No, the ignorant one would be you thinking that I, my wife or anybody else needs to “justify” what they buy to anybody.
My (actual truck) is much larger than her CUV, go loose some sleep over that. I assure you that when I had a yard of topsoil in its bed last week to do my fall landscaping, that your car, an SUV or any training truck couldn’t have physically done it, because they can’t. They also couldn’t pull my camper, probably not even my boat.
Get this through your thick European skull, were not Europe, we don’t want to be Europe, we don’t need to justify or make excuses for what we want, or what we buy. That’s a thing only you people do so that you can virtue signal others into excepting you. That’s called living in a free country. I know that’s overload for your underpowered brain, but that’s how it is, and that’s how it’s always going to be. Feel free to never come here, we don’t want you.

The whole point of my previous comment was that you don’t need to justify your SUV (or your truck) and you should just own your decision and let the rest of us think of you as an asshole. I’m going to be nice and assume you just wanted to repeat my own point back to me, you know to show that you do in fact have reading comprehension.
But it seems you missed something the first time so I’m going to rephrase the following using more plain words - the reason this thread exists in the first place is because you wanted to justify your SUV. For some reason you didn’t take your own advice (about not needing to justify some things) because we wouldn’t be here if you did. But here’s to hoping that next time you take your own advice before you let your fragile ego write the comment.

The only people that would think somebody is an asshole for choosing a vehicle they personally didn’t want would be judgemental assholes themselves that try to shame people they disagree with and try to use social pressure to push their hive mind on others.
The last thing I am is fragile, I’m not the one that’s offended by others vehicle choices.
Enjoy your wimpy little Prius though.

Alright, explain the reasoning of your first comment in this thread. Because in that comment you’re justifying owning an SUV, but now you’re saying you don’t need to justify it. Clearly you felt the need to do it the first time around? I don’t see how that’s not a sign of a fragile ego.

It’s funny that you think you’re somehow entitled to tell me I must explain anything to you. I’m not, but since you’re clearly a retard and can’t see context, I’ll appease your simple mind. Stupid excuses were made that I could do what I do in a car, which were laughable BTW, which I can’t. I simply gave some examples of why I own a truck, that’s not the same thing as “justifying” owning one. Even If I didn’t need one, I’m free to buy one if I like, without “justifying” anything to anybody. This idiotic mindset that anybody needs to give anybody an excuse for what THEY do is a joke. I’m a free person, other people don’t get to tell me what to do. My parents lost that ability decades ago when I began an adult, a bunch of cry baby virtue signalling dipshits that don’t even know the difference between an SUV, a CUV or why people own trucks sure as shit don’t get to.
