Advertising and delusion by cars

Television Ads for sports and recreation vehicles show solitary, impeccable machines in wilderness locations. One TV ad shows a couple making a mad dash to escape the city core in their expensive, luxury upholstered clone of the land-rover. The ads are selling a fantasy of wilderness, fresh air and escape. These vehicles are mostly found in suburban driveways and in the traffic jams of polluted cities. They have nowhere to go to escape the environmental degradation they help to create: 4x4 drives and large tires are rarely useful in cities and are not suited to highway driving. These machines, submerged in suburban driveways by the floods they helped to create. These Cars cause much more damage than is needed I believe you should not be aloud to own a 4x4 unless you live in the country there is no need for people in citys to have a 4x4. they are causing to much pollution to be of use to any body.
