When I ask people who have absolutely no need for something as big as an SUV why they have an SUV, this is the #1 answer I get: "Because I'm worried about an accident." In fact, that's pretty much the only answer I get.
Not fair! This describes me and I loathe SUV's.
This is why I never let SUV's push their way through me in traffic. If you're tailgating me in your SUV, you'd better be prepared to hit me and let your behemoth machine result in your paying for my overpriced Acura replacment parts.
That's not entirely fair... I mean, there is the occasional SUV driver who actually NEEDS to drive something that big, to go offroad and to haul shit around. I mean, at least I assume those people exist.
Haha!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Thanks, israphael, I greatly enjoyed this article. It seemed very obviously written by someone with SUV-rage, and its logic got specious at times (and sometimes downright silly, as in the quote above), but I think it's a great read.
I've often hoped gas prices did spike up, just to punish those fools getting 10 mpg in their SUVs. 8)
