Twenty years. That's about how long these great and ridiculous beasts stomped the Earth without peer or predator or even much coherent justification...

When they have to make up facts for their arguments, its time to tell them to shut up until they know what they're talking about. The SUV has been around for many years before this writer's knowledge of history. The SUV has been a major mode of travel in rural America longer than I have been alive (almost 50 years).

This writer doesn't know what the heck he is talking about. The SUV in some fashion will always exist because there is a need.

When I was a kid, you didn’t (expletive) with guys who drove a blazer, as they WOULD be able to kick your ass.

Yup. The Chevrolet Suburban was introduced in 1935... Love to get my hands on a 1947-1955 First series version. I’d settle for a ‘55 second series to a ‘57.
