I consider SUVs the dumbest vehicle ever to roll down the street, but I will fight to defend everyone’s right to own one.
You sound like me.
I have never understood the craze for SUVs, but if people who like them are willing to pay through the gijjywah in initial cost and high fuel costs to have them it's not my place to tell them they should know better than to follow the crowd into every fad that comes along.
What vehicle fad will be next after the SUV becomes old hat, a Peterbilt sleeper cab truck in every suburban garage? Or maybe a civilian version of an Abrams tank? That 120mm cannon and the .50 caliber BMG might come in handy when the freeway gets jammed up at rush hour. I wonder what the EPA mileage rating will be.
