I have a plymouth voyager (cousin of the caravan). They are front wheel drive. I don't understand how the writer can equate them as being better or just as good as the SUV.
I can't make it up hill in the snow with my mini van.

Aw, man! Guess that means I should feel badly about my wife's new Suburban LT. NOT!

Anti-SUV = Anti-Capitalism That's a dumb one. There is no one more capitalistic than Newgeezer. You might as well say anti-(pick a brand name) = anti-capitalism.

This is America, how dare this guy express an opinion! Yeah! It is fun to watch people react as if he said anything about ALL SUVs and SUV drivers instead of "most," "for the most part," "many," "typical" and "more."

The funny thing is that I agree with a lot of what he says. There was an ice storm in New Jersey late last fall that caused more than 100 accidents on the New Jersey Turnpike. Something like 95% of the accidents involved SUVs traveling at excessive rates of speed.
Someone I know at work recently told me that his sister was thinking of buying an SUV for the family, but opted for a mid-sized car instead because the price of gas is so high.
As far as I'm concerned, anyone who makes a purchase of an item that is expected to last more than five years, and bases the decision for that purchase on the cost of gasoline over the last few months, shouldn't even be allowed to dress herself in the morning.

Picture the typical SUV driver---the beady, close-set eyes of a serial killer set above a snarl that could curdle a latte. And that's just the women. The men are worse. Think of Hitler's Panzer divisions invading Poland. Like a ROCK!

I used to hate SUVs. Then I bought one. Then another bigger than the first. IMHO my 2001 4X4 F-100 will keep me safe. I do need it to do 4WD thing when I work and play. I used to love SUVs. Then I bought a car. Then another small than the first. Now I drive a motorcycle almost exclusively.

It was just a question.
Personally, I drive a Ford Focus most of the time - to save gas on my long commute.

That's a dumb one. There is no one more capitalistic than Newgeezer.I'm not sure whether I was just complimented or smoted (smited? smate?).
But, Knuckle Sandwich Combo didn't say that I'm anti-capitalist. He directed that at the writer.

This is America, how dare this guy express an opinion! The first amendment works both ways, bub. He's free to express his silly, ignorant, uninformed, idiotic opinion. And the rest of us are free to flame him for it.
And no, I don't own (or lease) an SUV of any sort. Though I've occasionally rented one when on business travel. The sort of travel I do, it's often necessary. But for personal use, my Ranger is much more practical.
And I own a bike, too. It has its uses, among which getting to work every day is not.

Of course you have the "lane darters". How many of these "lane darters" exist simply because people can not follow basic driving etiquette and stay to the right while driving slower than the flow of traffic?

I guess you think Corvette owners are NOT "pousers"? Not unless "pouser" is French for middle-aged man with a samll winkie.

...2001 4X4 F-100 ...Would you care to recheck the model on that? Maybe it should be an F-150?
I don't think they've built the F-100 since about '82.
But, then again, every once in a while I come across new vehicles that they don't build any more.
To: newgeezer
This was supposed to be funny, right? A little bit of comedic relief, perhaps? LOL!
As soon as my 97 Cherokee gives up the ghost (not for another 150,000 miles or so)I will be looking for another one. As soon as my wifes Saturn is ready for the pasture, we will be looking for another Cherokee.

Avalanche! Hottest truck on the road and in my driveway. And I certainly don't need it; I just love it :)
