When I purchased my Durango SUV it was for 2 reasons:

1. With a family of 6 I needed a vehicle that could fit all of us. My wife already had a mini van and I didn't want 2 of them.

2. I wanted a vehicle with 4WD for snow conditions and a large enough engine to tow a boat, trailer or anything else.

Prior to my SUV I owned a Subaru 4WD station wagon when I only had 2 kids. It worked well for us. When my SUV's time is up I plan on going back to either another Subaru or a Jeep Wrangler with 4WD, an probably will never take it "off road".

Besides I never realized that God had created the SUV. I thought it was some automotive engineer. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I would be pissed if my neighbor purchased a vehicle that could not fit in their garage

Then you'd be pissed at damn near every Dodge full sized truck owner that has a house with single doors. I bought the driveway for a reason and it's not to let solar heating on concrete help my lawn out.

CurrentTV is running a contest soliciting “ecco commercials” as what we can do to deal with teh current global crisis.

I would submit factually minded conservatives should submit their own commercials.

Environmentalists are just commies.
Global wariming is a tax fraud.
Regulation is for lawyer profits.

Now, as Groves ponders what to do with the remains of his $38,000 SUV, he has been the target of a number of people who have driven by the crime scene in his upscale neighborhood and glared at him in smug satisfaction...

His neighbors are like "moderate" Muslims. They probably wouldn't commit violence themselves, but they certainly aren't upset over the radicals who their views to their logical end.

They didn’t bash his car cause it’s a Hummer, they bashed it cause he’s a Chargers fan in a Seachickens town.

BTW—both teams suck.

My buddy had a Dodge Dart Swinger. It was barely holding together but the engine just wouldn’t die.
I thinkback to the days when your buddy was lucky because his parents gave him a piece of junk car. At least it was a car.
Now all the kids are driving around in new cars.

I thought this took place in DC. "Northwest Washington" means the northwest part of the District. This was written by the Washington Post after all.

As I stated in my theory, these are only RECENT. The last 20 years has seen NO real station wagons.

I want to get my boys a VW Bus to restore.

But everyone I say that to says I’m just asking for trouble.

Think of this a sort of the opening shots of the second civil war between the loonie lefties and the rest of us.

Personally, I’d get it fixed and keep watch at night until I caught the idiots returning and turn them into the police.

yeah you should, bc you will feel right at home, we have nearly as many fruits and nuts as your homegrown ones. Alexandria is not quite as bad as Arlington or Falls Church would be, and i can’t speak to Lorton, it is a bit further out. the closer in to DC the worse it is, actually.

I would love to have a car that shows the CRX drivers something real.

CRX? Wow, I rarely see those anymore. The few that I do see tend to be bone-stock rather than decked out in full riceboy regalia.

(I’ve also been known to cast aspersions on the manhood of middle-aged guys who drive Corvettes.)

Whew, thank God this middle aged guy drives a Camaro. I was almost asperionally cast upon. %^)

If you’re not gonna use the SUV for the reason God created it, buy a damn station wagon. This is the same stupid argument that gun control advocates use. This is America and if you want to spend your money on a gas guzzler then it’s no one elses business but your own. If you want to own an M 16 instead of a bolt action again it should be your own business. These evionmental wackos all babble about the President denying there right to an abortion and free medical care but god forbid if you do something they don’t like then it’s the end justifies the means. Bunch of damn hypocrites.
