366 Day 86: I don't like this image. I've not been in a good mood today, and, seeing a 4x4 pickup thing in the car park, I felt even more curmudgeonly.

The associated rant going on in my head was about the flawed logic of "feeling safer" in vehicles like this, as a justification for driving them. Feeling safer has to be at the expense of someone else feeling more vulnerable, and if we all followed that argument, we'd be driving tanks or Hummers *',!!@"*

Anyway, I crouched down in front of the thing to get a head on view, as if it were about to run me over. I thought it looked angry, but that was my problem ...

I get 'grumpy old man' moments, but they're mostly about behaviour or things, rarely about people, you understand :-)

	Rugby Mad Girl says: It certainly looks menacing and overbearing. I can understand your grump. It looks a bit dirty, as if it's just come out of Mad Max, and we all know how grungy those cars were! -- Seen next to a fellow photo of 366 2008. (?) Posted 5 months ago. ( permalink )
	ivyknoll says: Hope you're feeling better after getting all that off your chest! Not sure I would have said this looks "angry", but overbearing, yes. And yes, I agree with your argument. I know of very few people who own one of these things who actually need one. Posted 5 months ago. ( permalink )

	touchingthelight says: Cheers everybody. I feel better knowing that we seem to be of similar mind. Perhaps Top Gear and Brainiac could start blowing these up instead of caravans? Little chance ... Posted 5 months ago. ( permalink )
