My husband always works over Christmas while I am off. As my parents get older I try to be the one kid that goes home to visit them at Christmas. We also live in Canada (crappy weather at that time of year) and we only have one vehicle. 

I have started renting a vehicle at Christmas to go home and visit my parents. I would prefer to take our vehicle which has 4WD instead of some small Ford Focus that I'm not familiar with. My husband refuses to drive the rental vehicle and so he keeps the good vehicle (in the city) while I drive the crappy rental 300 km to my parent's place.

I really feel I'm not the asshole here but I'm curious what others think.
