Are we still talking about Suburbans? Great, here's my
contribution and I promise not to say anything LBC related.
We just gave up our 93 8-passenger station wagon (caprice
classic) for a brand spanking new 9-passenger suburban. It will
be my wife's (the soccer mom _ and swimming and scouts and 4H and
dance class and endless other activities) daily driver which she
will drive like a car. She's all of 110lbs and 5-4 and
constantly tailgates while either yelling at the kids or gabbing
on the cell phone so look out for her - she will be the one who
can barely see over the steering wheel. BTW, I've already put in
brighter headlights and raised the beam ever so much. I want to
be sure to annoy the hell out of all those lowly sedan drivers.
We've done the minivan thing and the Aerostar was great albeit
ugly. It had 4 wheel drive and plenty of luggage space behind
the 3rd seat. There was the image problem though- it is next to
impossible to pull up to a traffic light and be cool in a
minivan. That notwithstanding, there are no minivans currently
available that will accommodate 2 adults, 5 kids and
accoutrements like luggage, bikes and snacks. Thus, the Suburban
was a good choice.
I think someone asked about the psychology of SUV owners. I feel
qualified to answer. In my professional opinion tire size and
body lift are inversely related to the male driver's penis size.
Thus, a highly lifted 4x4 with very large exaggerated tires
suggests that the owner has a rather small penis. The tire size
and body height are symbolic manifestations of the small penis
owners need to compensate for his feelings of inadequacy. Of
course, factory height and tires suggests that the male driver is
in possession of a normal size penis. And oh, before you all get
carried away and start driving around on your wheel rims to
impress the ladies - forget it - as this will only suggest that
you are mostly a big dick.
And please remember that I am on the digest so if anyone has
already mentioned this, please never mind.
