You couldn’t lower the price enough for me to drive one of those matchboxes. Part of the reason I drive a large car (other than all the people I’ve got to transport) is, if I get in a wreck, I want to make sure I win it. People can impugn the safety of SUVs all they want (rollovers, whatever) — you’ll not survive an accident when you’re not even big enough to hit the body of another car (i.e. your body hits their tires). I’ve had family members walk away from catastrophic accidents (including one with a dump truck hitting a driver door at 45mph) precisely because they were in a large car (Suburban, in the case of the dump truck accident).

Guess the motorcycle is out for you also huh?

Afraid so ... for several reasons, actually. Wife and 2 kids — nowhere to put them. Houston is hot as Hell, and it rains VERY often. And, motorcycles are mere speedbumps to SUVs.

I prefer riding in comfort — air conditioning, radio, nice conversation, TV/DVD player, etc ... motorcycles just don’t appear that comfortable to me.
