YEAH...what YOU said....I'm walking today because of a '91 Ford Explorer....which, when stopped at a light, with ME in it, was hit twice.....and lived to tell about it. Did about $10K damage....glad I wasn't driving our little '83 Honda Accord - I'd have been thrown into oncoming traffic.....and NOT be here, I believe. Go POUND sand, you who criticize SUV's.....I haul the grandkids around, have camped in it, and it's still going strong at age 12. /RANT

My friend, who is boy scout leader, had a whole load of kids in his Suburban recently when he was rear ended at a stop light by a Malibu going 30 miles/hr. Bottomline none of the kids were hurt, the driver of the Malibu was carried away on a stretcher. The police said that if they had been in a smaller vehicle the kids in the back could of been badly injured.

My wife had a similar accident a few years ago in her 4Runner. She was t-boned by a Chevy Cavalier that ran a stop light. It busted the plastic side steps on the Runner, but totalled the Cavalier. She will never own another car as long as she lives. She now drives a Land Cruiser. Me I own a new Tahoe and wouldn't trade it for anything. I am a big guy and thanks to the greenies it is almost impossible to buy a car today that fits a full size man.
