Evil Gas Guzzeling SUV's save the day!

[Timber Loftis]

Well, as an SUV owner I can only deride them so far. But, there was an annual occurrence during the first snowfall/blackice every year in Vermont - SUVs spinning off the road. In some instances, they create a false sense of security: positraction/AWD is great but only does so much, and on sheer ice brakes are brakes are brakes. BTW, my little 1993 Mazda MX-6 front-wheel 4-banger never once failed to get me up the 3 mile dirt road to the top of the mountain I lived on in VT. It took a run-and-go and a lot of patience sometimes, but FWD + good snow tire work wonders.

No need to be an ass, you could just accept the post for what it was. [/QUOTE]Yeah, a puff piece about the glories of SUV ownership.

Hey TL [img]smile.gif[/img] You can't blame the SUV for the Moron behind the wheel.

Oh get a grip. It can just as well be argued to be a "puff piece" on people helping people. Only the title rankled you. Go pee in someone elses cheerio's for while.

LOL, I never cease to be amazed at the kind of venom that mere vehicle ownership can arouse in some people. The Left is never happy unless they can tell people what they can and cannot do.

And the Right is never happy when anyone questions their raping of our planet and peoples to live their comfy life.

Sorry, Atty, just couldn't resist.

And the Centrists can never get anything done [img]smile.gif[/img] Sorry TL there's enough to go around for everyone

MagiK since this is turning into everybody's favorite "feel good" thread; I thought we could talk some about the Sniper program on the History Channel last night. They profiled the development of the US sniper rifle and the Marine training program.
