From: Jauani Wu the subaru outback and impreza both have 4WD and come in station wagon format.
getting an suv to haul things around is the lamest thing i ever heard. why don't people just admit they get SUVs because they are the "cool minivan." Hmmm... could be that's cause many of them didn't? But please come by my house and tell me which of my other choices you don't approve of.

From: Ulrika Zugzwang Next time you park next to an SUV, scratch it with your keys.
~Ulrika~ I don't drive an SUV, but I think it is pretty childish to destroy someone's property just because they make you mad. I wish more people would drive smaller more economical cars, but I'm not going to go hurt other people's stuff because of it. What if someone blew up your house, because they thought it was the ugliest house on the street making everybody elses house worth less. I mean c'mon, grow up. Buy your hybrid car, tell others why they should buy theirs, and leave people's stuff alone. |

Key my SUV, it will blend nicely with the branch marks from 4-wheeling. The only problem is the key mark might be obscured by the mud.

From: Neehai Zapata I don't think anyone doubts that there are myriad excuses to drive an SUV.
Amazingly enough, not everyone drives an SUV so there must be some way that other people tackle the obstacles you overcome with your vehicle.
I could list 100 reasons why an SUV would make my life easier. I just choose not to drive one. Well, I don't need to come up with ways to tackle the obstacles that person overcomes with an SUV because I don't have the needs that person does. I don't attend reenactments where I have to tote a bunch of gear, costumes, cooking equipment, etc. So that could have a little something to do with why everyone doesn't drive an SUV. coco |

I don't drive one because I see one in an accident like every other day on the atlanta highways.. and they are always flipped over.  Gas or no gas guzzlers.. consumer reports and my eyes have deemed those suckers fricken dangerous!

From: Neehai Zapata You can rent cars. You can take buses. You can take a train. There are a number of options that don't involve driving an SUV 365 days a year. When I lived in New York, I didn't have a car. coco |

Gas or no gas guzzlers.. consumer reports and my eyes have deemed those suckers fricken dangerous! Yeah, the flip-over thing is worrisome, too. In general, I always find it kind of silly when someone is young, single and living in NYC without a car, as I was, thinks they have all the answers for someone with kids, dogs, older, with other interests and needs, etc., living somewhere else. coco |

Makes me think of the Amish. I wonder - you know, they are very thrifty and ecologically correct. We could all learn a thing or two from the way they life.
But what if they decided we SHOULD all live as they do? And started keying everybody's cars?
Just a thought.

Of all the South American countries in which I lived every one has an excellent public transportation system. All main roads have a bus passing every 5 minutes running straight thru downtown. From the center of town one can get a bus to anywhere in town. Fares were in the dime range, for $0.20 one could get anywhere in town. Each bus is owned and operated by the driver. This gives the driver the ability to repair and maintain the bus on the fly. It costs the government next to nothing to operate the system because the bus driver buys and maintains the bus. They also have "por puesto"  by seat) which was either a taxi running a bus route or a small bus. They cost a bit more(15 cents to a dollar) but once they filled up they didn't stop, making them a kind of express. We have been suggesting this kind of system in our area because of the massive growth. We also have a very large retirement community that would benefit greatly. |

From: Roxie Marten
I really didn't mean that. I was just jerking his chain. I purchased exactly what I needed.
OK - then I retract my statement. 
Glad to hear at least one SUV owner actually put some thought into thier purchase instead of following the flock. |

From: Juro Kothari That's because they are, when compared to cars. They don't have to meet the same safety criteria, and while they have sheer weight on thier side, they also have gravity and a higher center of gravity which works against them and causes them to roll over on their backs faster than Barnesworth after a few drinks. coco |

I have to say... Ulrika has one big, black, juicy set of cojones... and while I cannot condone such acts of vandalism, I appreciate the fact that she is someone with convictions and the strength of character to publicly admit them.

You don't really believe Ulrika keys SUVs, do you? Surely, this thread was in jest. If anything, she has big cojones because she is willing to subject herself to the reaction of people who think she is serious.  |

coco Better yet, inversely, I think that since the Amish are shunning technology and not contributing to Secondlife - I will make a mental note to key one of their horse-drawn buggys the next time I see one. |

Rent a vehicle. Do I need to say it again for you? Rent a mule. Do I need to say it again for you?
