Any one who defends these vehicles has not been on the Ventura Freeway
though the valley and seen SUV's time and time again weaving in and out of
traffic like they were in a roadster or something. Or doing 90 in the rain.
I think a prerequisite for purchasing one of these devices is the question
"Have you ever studied physics?" If they answer "No" the dealer sells them
the truck and sends them off to create havoc

I aggree with shifty.
If you live somewhere where they are needed then great. But you
do not need one in SF!!!!!!!!!!!! Silly-big things that do not fit
in any of the garages or parking spaces. By their very nature they
cannot see low small things, our cars-but most importantly children on
bikes. With their 'brush gards' they are proven pedestrian killers..
The first day I had my car I was almost hit on the freeway by two
big SUV's. Now I have air horns and if I even think that they are going
to try to share my lane they get one hell of a double-half-caff-latte
spilling blast!!!
hate-em hate-em hate-em yuppie poser mo-biles!!!!!!!!
Ahhhhh now I feel better.
