You ever try and repair the air bladders on a Town Car set of brakes. Don’t. You can recognize them driving by their ‘clump. clump, clump’ every foot they take.
Let’s just disavow our cities and make our own zip codes for our cars, why don’t we?

They’re getting there; I want an SUV so big that when I pull up next to some little Volvo with Obama stickers all over it at a red light, all they can see out their windows is my running boards!

Gos bless those who can afford to own it and feed it . Capitalism still works, and if you can get your own zip code for it more power to you. Power to the real people.

I have nothing against large SUVs (own a Hummer myself) but at what point do they become so big that they aren’t practical? Where do you park something like that for a quick trip to the grocery?

If somebody wants to buy or build a car/truck this big, so be it.
It their money and it's a free country and the environmental impact is highly overstated by the enviro-nuts.

That’s ridiculous. Is there no limousine too large for you? Or do you light your smokes with [name your denomination] bills?

Dual exhaust out too just be about the right height to dust a couple of Prius’s with a little diesel smoke from the center lane.

Wonder how many feet to the gallon it gets?Heck, all it needs is one of those 100 mpg carburetors and some ecofuel.
