Okay, how about what this dildo posted on this thread:
Sound familiar?
(Resisting temptation to Puckyishly reply “Did big bad SUV tailgate widdle oo?”, while noting that for a casual lurker, our Pucky seems to have major issues with a variety of posters):
Got a cite for this claim? Don’t think so.
We have this here search function on the SDMB, and I turn up a total of 3 SUV threads prior to this sleazefest that I was foolish enough to try to inject a bit of logic into: namely this one, a similar outpouring of wisdom and one other diatribe-athon.
In none do I do the impression of SUVosaurus Rex that’s thrown you into a tizzy. Perhaps I enraged your little undercover self with comments like:
*"The mileage argument gets blurred when you consider the new smaller SUVs that get as good or better mileage than some vans, and certainly better than numerous high-powered luxury cars.
You’ll have to come up with a better justification to ban, say the Subaru Forester.
It appears to be the symbolic value of the SUV that annoys the Jayrots.
By all means work to mandate better mileage and less dependence on our good buddies the Saudis. Spare me the SUV rants."*
So, dearest Pucky, one must conclude that you are so overstuffed with fecal material that it is pouring out of all of your bodily orifices and threatening to cause a road hazard. Or looking on the positive side, perhaps generating enough methane to power your Mini-Cooper to Trollers Anonymous meetings.
Oh, and Rubystreak? Since math is evidently not one of your strong points, try this little exercise:
Person A selfishly drives a Ford Monstrocrusher 120 miles per week. The Monstrocrusher gets 15 miles per gallon. Weekly gas usage = 8 gallons.
Person B heroically drives a Honda Huffington 400 miles per week, getting 25 miles per gallon. Weekly gas usage = 16 gallons.
Checking the results on our magical Calculator of the Societal Good, Person A is twice as patriotic as Person B.
But I would never call you a mental midget, Rubystreak.
The acceptable term is dwarf, or little person.
Ha! lol
you beat me to it!!!
now on to the OP
How is it the suv’s fault you jackass. The news around here says things like an suv did this or that like it was the suv’s fault.
I believe the dumb asses that flip and kill themselves IN suv’s are the scared asses that need to die anyway - hopefully before they reproduce! In a car they would be the deer-in-headlights drivers that are not aware of anything else going on around them
end pit rant
I can only think of one responce fitting for the OP.
I’m going to go out and buy a Canyonaro…
Can’t the mods just sticky a locked SUV rant thread? That way, when someone gets the urge to make one, they can just read an existing one. All the same points will be covered in any of the three billion threads on the subject and there’s no reason to waste any time on yet another one.
And yes, I know I don’t have to read them if I don’t like them.
Hey! Leave me out of this!
Didn’t Hitler drive an SUV?
-Where the hell do you live, near the Glenn where all the yuppies try and outdo each other during rush hour in their Lexii? I live up here too, and compared to some of the suicidal assholes I’ve had to dodge on Lower 48 highways- in dry weather!- when the weather gets bad, in my opinion we have some of the best drivers around.
Hell, it’s raining on packed snow and ice right now- there’s puddles in the intersections, sand is doing no good whatsoever- and in driving around all day I didn’t even see so much as a near-miss or a fender bender.
That kind of weather cripples any large L48 city you can name, to say nothing of the six feet of snow that Valdez has right now.
Allow me to join the chorus and note that, had the vehicle noted in the OP been anything but an SUV, the poster would have seen it only as an inconvenience, not as further evidence of the evils of SUV-dom.
One vehicle in an accident, that vehicle being an SUV. By our Amazing Powers of Deduction© we can clearly see that yes indeed, said SUV driver was being an arrogant “I can drive anywhere” prick. It seems so clear.
No, it’s simply impossible- far outside the realm of contemplation- for it to have been anything but sheer driver chutzpah. Couldn’t have been avoiding an animal or other erratic driver. Impossible that there might have been some piece of debris in the road that could have punctured a tire. The driver obviously- being an SUV owner- has no heart, so couldn’t possibly have suffered a heart attack… though there may be something to the possibility of a clogged-artery-caused stroke due to all the fatty foods such drivers ubiquitously consume. (It’s in the contract somewhere, I’m pretty sure.)
The driver couldn’t possibly have been diabetic, or perhaps in more of a hurry than he or she should have because granddad is in the hospital and fading fast.
These things can easily be discerned and thus dismissed just by looking as you drive by, so clearly the only causation of the accident was sheer SUV arrogance. The driver, a white male probably, was blasting through the drifts with his heavy metal (probably pirated) blaring from his sound system when he took this corner at what must have been 110 MPH, right? The smug bastard, serves him right.
Asshole. (And I don’t mean the SUV driver.)
SCORE!!!
Of course, one should point out that the curve may have been defined to be blind, but nobody said anything about the shoulder or the opposite effing lane. Or, in fact, that most highways don’t have blind curves. Any road that does, you shouldn’t be doing sixty. So if you are, it’s your own damned fault for being a moron.
Boy, I’ll tell ya. Those damn SUV drivers. Not only can’t they stop, and not only are they big and prone to rollovers, but they pollute the air, too.
Well, um, they do pollute,don’t they?
OK, maybe not. But they still can’t stop, so neener neener neener.
:rolleyes:
John, it IS you. :eek:
Can you say “Pot.Kettle.:rolleyes:” just one time for old time’s sake?
Crap… Where is Mr. Cynical when you need him.
Anyone want to talk about solar energy?
Nah, we need Coldfire for that.
Dear Fatherclohne, uhm I mean Pucky.
The search feature is your friend. You however are an idiot, and an unimaginative one at that. Remember SUV’s don’t kill people, no wait, When SUV’s are outlawed, only outlaws…Oh hell with it, this subject and your opinon in regards to is so old tired and just played out I just don’t care anymore.
:squeals off in Official Suburban of Doom® crushing any who dare to cross her murderous path:
A point of clarification: it’s more likely the the SUV driver was trying to run over the group of baby ducklings than trying to avoid them. We hate them ducklings.
Non-SUV spouse. God, I love putting my (her) money where my mouth is.
No issues. I know of some and enjoy their posts. Others I don’t. It’s the pit.
It’s in this exact same thread! Are you being dishonest or are you really that stupid? You said: "I never have that sort of problem in my 2002 Mazda Armageddon 4X4.
I grind Geo Metros and suchlike under my oversized tires and find that it improves traction mightily."
Then use this here search engine, because you aren’t using that there (ahem) brain.
(snip mileage straw man) I don’t know what you mean by “undercover.” I have never posted here under any other name.
We have a search engine on this here board that would allow you to note I never once mentioned mileage. What I objected to was that A) Many SUV drivers do not know how to operate their vehicles and drive them like cars B) The high fuckwit quotient among many SUV drivers.
Reference B, above.
