Heh, I kinda agree. 


I just became a SUV owner (Cause I like Pathfinders and yeah, I realy have
no justification for it), but I think what irks me are those who say they
got it for safety (bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahha). Yeah...
um... my Porsche is safer than the SUV I bought. My little tiny
Porschhe... yeah, it's got that size problem, but I bet it was better put
together to withstand a crash (evne at 3x the age of the SUV) and even
though it is small, it's much easier to avoid an accident in the first
place with it (The SUV has no advantage whatsoever).

And yes, I have to admit I'm getting touchy about SUV attacks after I now
have one (specially since I know I have no real reason for it at all. Best
excuse I have is I bought it in hopes of roadtripping soon and it just had
the irght roadtrip aura. Don't ask me what a car needs to ahve the right
aura, I don't have any specifics, it just has to "feel right". My Porsche
does but unfortunately when I'm hoping to be going west and it has many
problems making it undrivable belwo 32 degrees, I don't think that is
going to happen).

As for those people getting SUVs for the safety of their children (or
themselves) I just want to bitchslap them and tell them to quit either
being ignorant or an idiot (I'll give some people the benefit of a doubt
that they just don't know the facts about SUVs and crash tests and just
see size and think that's what safety is).

SEe, i know SUVs aren't safe. I don't care. Safety is probably the last
important thing to me personally in a car. I'll go with trying to drive
well over how safe a car is and get myself a fun car without having to
worry on top of dependability, fun factor, price (kinda hard just to find
all three without safety added on top) about safety. Hell, it's a great
way to keep myself from becoming a horrible driver. If I'm in a car I know
is a deathtrap, I'll drive safer (anyone see that guy who prposed to make
people drive better you stick a big pointy metal thing on their steering
wheel that points to their chest? *grin*).
