And evil! I mean, look at all the headlines talking about how "An SUV was involved in a fatal car crash"..."An SUV killed a pedestrian"..."An SUV side-swiped a number of parked cars before careening over a cliff"!!!

It basically comes down to the laws of physics, but I'm sure some dims will demand that those laws be repealed.

This is where you find the drivers who say to themselves, “I don’t need to know how to drive; I have an SUV.”

SUVs don’t kill people. Idiots who don’t know how to drive so they buy SUVs kill people. I can’t tell you how frequently I see some outrageously dangerous, stupid driver and it turns out to be a young woman (from what I gather in other wats, usually single) driving a giant SUV. The funny thing is you’ve got Rush Limbaugh (,etc.) defending our right to drive SUVs, and all those do-gooder Cap-and-trade liberals driving them.

Can you imagine what it would do for the hip hop industry to ban Escalades and make them drive Prius’s?

This must be wrong. The guy at the dealership promised me that the Smart ForTwo is one of the safest cars around!

It’s tough to squeeze 22” wheels with spinners under a Prius. I’m sure someone out there will do it, though.

The SmartForTwo *is* the safest - for the occupants of the other vehicle.

City buses do much better than SUVs in crashes, and bus drivers never get traffic tickets no matter what stunts they pull. A used city bus can be bought for around $10k. To keep that socialist look, don’t ever scrub it.
