Ditto. The last thing on my mind is pissing people off or offending.
I am terrible with names but good with faces. I will have to look you up.

Hi Ryan,
First I want to say that i'm participating in this argument in good fun. I don't have anything against Jake (except the hummer thing ;) ). I've met Jack before (you probably don't remember Jack, but we met in Cleveland and again in Memphis).
No, i'm not anti-suv. My parents on a Jeep Cherokee. Great ride! Am I anti Hummer? I don't like them personally, and I do believe they are a waste of money and only purchased for status. I'm more "anti- buying things that endanger others and don't give a shit about the environment just for status"
The Delorean may be a status symble to some, but it isn't for me. I didn't buy it for status. Some people buy honda's for status. Is a honda a status symble? depends on who's asking. I know the delorean is exotic (maybe), and is rare. And yes, its mroe than likely a status symble to most. But I didn't buy it for that so it isn't to me. When I drive the Delorean around I really am not concerned about what others are thinking. I'm just having a great time in my car.
No hard feelings Jack.

Actually, if you compared emissions, I bet his Hummer puts out less
toxic crap into the atmosphere than your DeLorean. Emissions control
equipment has advanced considerably since 1981.
Erik, are you anti-SUV, or just anti-Hummer? I ask because I hear the
"gas guzzler" argument a lot, and I find it hilarious because my SUV
gets the same gas mileage as my DeLorean. ~18-20mpg.
Most pickups on the road get the same gas mileage as a Hummer. Are you
anti-truck?

You may have missed the "status symbol" point. Your DeLorean is a
status symbol. To argue otherwise is delusional. If you wanted a small
two seat used sports car there are dozens of models to choose from for
as little as a few hundred dollars. You could be driving a $2,000
Fiero instead.
I just find it silly that someone can criticize an H2 owner for
driving a "status symbol" while cruising around in a relatively rare,
exotic car that attracts attention wherever it goes. You've got a
status symbol too. :)
