Dear SUV driver: Not to put too fine a point on it ...

See, it’s shit like this that makes everyone hate you.

You’re letting your things define you. I suggest you take off your shoes, climb a tree, and learn how to play the flute.

Figured you’d be along, light strand.

I’m all for villifying assholes of every stripe and vehicle. But we’re supposed to be about fighting ignorance here, and perpetuating stereotypes is the height of fuckin’ ignorance.

Hell, this fucker could’ve been gabbing on the phone while driving. Or an animal could’ve darted out in front of the vehicle. Or they just could’ve been a bad driver. There are myriad reasons why this particular person spun their vehicle, and ‘just because it was an SUV’ isn’t one of them.
As an aside, even one of those semis saved my ass once on a highway. I had just run out of wiper fluid and my windshield was slowly becoming an opaque mess. I was praying for help and trying to get over to get off when I got splashed by a semi. Gave me enough slush to clean my windshield so I could get to an exit and a gas station.

Well, it is one of the warning signs …

I’m satisfied.

I wish my father’s name was john.

Here’s my SUV-related pet peeve: SUVs with American flags on them. OK, we’re in a “war against terrorism,” with the terrorists in question being funded by Middle Eastern oil interests. We really want to put the hurtin’ on Osama and Saddam and Yasir, but paradoxically, simultaneously, we will buy a huge-ass, gas-guzzling vehicle (a 2002 4WD Blazer gets 14/17 mpg!) and pour our hard-earned American currency right in the pockets of…

You get my point. Patriotism is great until it cramps your lifestyle, eh? Easier to just buy a plastic American flag, strap it on your urban assault vehicle, and figure that makes it OK.

I have to agree with the OP. I’ve lived in Alaska for 33 years. The vehicles most likely to be spotted UPSIDE down in the ditch after even an itty bitty snow??

SUVs or souped up “4x4” trucks.

By a ratio of about 10 of those to 1 “normal” car.

Of course, I do have to ad a disclaimer, Alaskan drivers are probably the worst in the country.

He’d never do that.

Christ you’re a fucking idiot. I bet you believe those commercials too.

Which reminds me of wrong ideas that appeal to you.

If you rearrange the letters in his SN, it spells Reupy Schmuck.

Tell me that’s not meaningful!

JayLa, you weren’t even before you posted that.

Anyway, my child. what you just did is called “sarcasm”. Sarcasm can be a powerful tool when used wisely. You just used it like Robert McNamara spreading Agent Orange on the Cong. In the future, we would hope that you would try to use it wisely and with restraint lest you look like more of a halfwit than you already do, however, given your tired, cliched subject topic, we doubt you will.

See, around these parts, it’s the pickup truck drivers that are the total prick-faces. Not that all those who drive pick-up trucks are prick-faces - my dad drives one and does just fine.

Just that 9 times out of 10 when someone’s doing something lame in their car, it’s not a car, it’s a pick-up.

The SUV drivers are perfectly fine.

I’m inclined to think that that’s because around these parts, an SUV is actually a very useful thing - Going to the mountains, oil rigs, etc. etc, where as the pick-up is more of a showy thing - Cowboy wanna-be and all that.

Interestingly, those drivers that appear to actually BE cowboys seem to drive just fine.

So, to sum up - those who use their vehicle as an extension of their ego, have a tendancy to drive like prick-faces. Those who use their vehicle as it was intended have a tendancy to not drive like prick-faces.

YMMV.

Booooring. Get original or get stuffed.

ooooh, that rapier like wit, has cut to the quick.

Which means I haven’t cut you.
:smiley:

Ohhh, ouch.

gosh, we’ll have to watch out for you, won’t we.

This, my son, was called “petulance” which you did quite well, perhaps from long years of practice. Perhaps you could try being “sullen” next.
