She grew up driving pickups and tractors in the South, so she can handle the
Suburban, and she's driven most of the 160,000 miles since we bought it used
10 years ago. And she's got both a Midget and a motorcycle license, so
she's sensitive to smaller vehicles.
Seriously - drive an older Suburban and tell me there's some way to safely
handle the brakes other than increasing your interval behind the car ahead -
drastically. With the way people drive nowadays it's hard, but we have to
do it. Ever notice that the lever that used to be called the turn signal
lever is now the "please speed up and cut me off" lever ? That gets us to
the back of the pack real fast...
