Well what a surprise. More cars roll over than SUV? Who woulda thunk it?
Couldn't possibly be that there are -way- more cars than SUV out there
could it?  The study IIRC was that SUV roll over more often than cars
*percentage wise*, i.e., they roll over more often *when in an
accident* than cars do.

Sounds like you own an SUV.  Truthful answers here.  Do you go off road?
Do you even go off paved roads?  When was the last time you needed the
4x to get anywhere?  How come all those 2x got there using the same
roads at the same time?

I wish to point out that my attack is not on all SUV owners,  I have no
problem with those that honestly admit that they just -want- it.  I
have a real problem with those who try to justify them as necessary to
get to work. A front wheel drive with good tires will get you there
just as well until conditions get so bad they close the roads.
