I’m living nowadays in a watershed of my life and therefore fighting to find any time at all for writing this blog. But I hope to be back soon with a changed focus and more active updating.

In the meantime I write about a little idea from the weekend. I was almost devastated to hear in the news that the sales of large SUVs has increased considerably here in Finland. In these ages of climate change at least I’m concerned about that kind of development even though in the same time diesel engines are also gaining in popularity. Bigger cars anyway mean more emissions.

I don’t know about all the reasons behind buying large vehicles but I’d suspect esteem to be one of the most important ones. That reminds me of concept I’ve been thinking about earlier: namely making small and efficient cars with a luxurity of a big one. I don’t think there is really such a concept available yet. Now if I want to show off I need to get a big car. What I would like to do instead was to show off with a notably expensive and high-end car that wouldn’t be the size of an elephant and with emissions sky-high. A car that would let everyone know that I’m part of the elite and in the same time contributing for the better future. Somehow I think the time could be ready for that. A luxurious Mini maybe?
