I have been thinking about this for a long time. My friend Sydel and I wanted to conduct a study to see if our hypothesis is true but we have already broken one of the most important rules of research. Remain objective.
Is it because they feel entitled? They are doing the right thing by buying the environmentally friendly car so that gives them an excuse to drive badly? Just because you pollute the earth with your car and they don't they have the right to cut you off, stop short, drive slow in the fast lane? In the words of one of my favorite shows FRAK that! I am worried about the environment but is there is no way I will ever say "YES" to one of those ugly cars especially if by purchasing one you immediately morph into bad driver.
Apparently we are not the only souls out there that believe this.

Come to Hawaii! Everyone here under the age of 75 drives a monster truck. They can afford it because they live with their parents. The best trucks have windshields tinted so darkly that you can't see in them. Some have obscured the lights and license plates with black plastic covers. You might think this would cause them to be dangerous, but the stereos and mufflers compensate for visibility with audibility.
