higher gas prices and bigger vehicles

I hear alot of people complaining about the rising gas prices but at the same time I see more and more trucks, mini-vans and SUVs on the road. There are plenty of one child families crusing around in these mini-vans or SUVSs. I also know several people with trucks who claim they need it to move stuff. In most cases they may actually only move stuff 2 or 3 times a year. The money they would have saved on gas had they bought a car would have been more than enough to rent a truck on the few occasions they needed one.

While I'm sure in some cases some people do need these larger vehicles but in in many cases the reality is that these are just expensive toys. Now don't get me wrong. I love expensive toys. My paintball equipment speaks for itself. However I will never complain about the extra cost incurred by owning these expensive toys (in my case more air and paint) . So you folks out there with the unnecessary large vehicles.....just shut up about the gas prices.
