Re: Why an SUV or utillity vehicle? A study
I like the comment by Joe Schmoe. I was doing some research about that
subject and found that when a car and SUV collide, the people in the
SUV often walk away and the people in the car die. This is a valid
point that I agree with and did not think about before. If you buy a
quarter million dollar Ferrari it is still just a car. In a car and
SUV collision I would bet on the SUV driver as survivor. OK you win on
this one.
Also I think there is too much negative bias against SUVs. I think it
is the fact that in the people in the US have cheap gas. I mean that
as under $3 per gallon and many people in the world pay much more in
taxes on each gallon.
I am sure that environmentalists would go nuts if they knew that I like
to keep my home at above 80 degrees F heating all winter. My heating
bills here in the Midwest are really high. at this rate I am not
conserving natural resources, but as long as I pay my natural gas bill
that is my business. so I have no right to point at hummer drivers.
And anyone out there if you are going to get an SUV, please get the
truck based ones, not the car based "crossover". Lets not support
this crap. they are starting to cross SUVs with cars. If you are going
to get an SUV at least get the real thing, not some ugly ass 4X4
station wagon.
They said "Pontiac Aztec" and I said "Oh shit".
