Need advice on new SUV
« Reply #30 on: May 13, 2003, 01:04:19 AM »
Unsafe by design, not to mention gas guzzling, enviroment ruining asssticks.  90% of the people that drive them are soccer moms with cell phone in one hand, and slapping their little brat with the other.  I'd be willing to bet 80% or so of the people have never engaged the 4 Wheel drive.  They are the most wasteful, pointless vehicle ever designed, ohhhh minivans are no longer cool lets go buy a $50,000 4X4 offroad/towing vehicle and use it to pick up the brats/go get grocercies:mad:

Well sure they won't handle like a car, but despite my thoughts to the contrary before driving it, my Tahoe handled quite well.  It definitely wasn't meant for anything but on-road driving despite being a 4X4.

I just wish people would drive more responceable. I mean really they need to watch where they stick there big arse SUV's. Since I went from my SUV to my Sportscar I can't believe how unaware people are when they drive these things.

Minus the fact that I almost plowed over by a soccer mom in her damn Surburban :mad: This morning on my way to the office.

Anything bigger than my 98 4runner is ostentatious.

A buddy of mine bought a first-generation Explorer when they were new because he had a 2nd kid.  He was amazed at how it was always full of kid crap so when it became time to get a new vehicle he decided to buy the bigger Expedition so he'd have more cargo room, but then THAT became full of kid crap, too.  He developed a theory - that kid crap will expand to consume all available space, no matter how big your cargo area is.

And yet, somehow, my parents made do with mid-70s Buick LeSabre 4-door sedans.  With no kid crap in the trunk.
