Is this what passes for debate in the GD forum? If you are getting no traction, start saying that people you disagree with have small penises?

[Apparently yes, if you hate SUVs](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=191184&pagenumber=2)

Grow up, people.

When I bought a E-350 Van, I found that it had remarkably little effect on the size of my penis. However, I how have the vision-blocking power of _two_ puny SUV’s! Hah! And a high bumper! Low gas mileage! How about _that!_

I would say it is more a case of overusing a popular Freudian slight than a serious comparison. Unimaginative? Maybe, but not meant to be taken seriously in my opinion.

That being said… I’m frighteningly large and drive a sedan. Put that data point… well, wherever it fits.

Anyone who thinks that SUVs are indicative of penis size (or perceived penis size) needs to move to NC. The trucks driven here dwarf most SUVs, I swear it.

Also, I have a Nissan Pathfinder that I drive sometimes. And I don’t even…wait ::checks:: Nope, I don’t even HAVE a penis!

Well, to be fair, it was hardly advanced as an argument. Rather, **DrDeth** made two clearly jocular references to the pop-psychology notion that people (guys) that have large, expensive toys are “compensating” for sexual inadequacy and **tastycorn** simply threw in a dismissive adjective based on the earlier reference. Without defending **tastycorn** ’s position, debating style or skills, or anything else, it is still fair to note that that was hardly a linchpin of the argument proposed.

(Now, if **tastycorn** comes back with a comment about penis envy, this rant will have been more than justified. 😉 )

Doesn’t that prove the point? You drive an SUV long enough and the darn thing just shrivels and falls off.

Kerplop.

Yeah, but I also drive a little girlie scooter, which probably caused the falling off long before the Pathfinder.

Seriously, though- you should see some of the trucks down here. I’m sure a lot are used for work (not that I care what anyone uses their truck/SUV/car/scooter/tricycle for) but they are HUGE. 6 tires on them, way up off the ground. I’ve been dwarfed in my Pathfinder before, and that’s not a small SUV. It’s unreal.

It’s the size of my penis that causes my SUV to get such terrible gas mileage.

I require an SUV in order to transport my tremendous penis.

Well if you drive SUV’s because of your small penis, then the opposite must be true.

So my little ford focus with no bumper and a broken taillight is just a reflection of my HUGE PENIS!  
(disclaimer: poster may not own ford focus. Ford does advise buying Focus to increase penis size.)

If I buy an SUV, will my penis get better gas mileage?

I will keep my small car and just shave down there. It makes it seem bigger and I still have money.

Wait a minute… I drive a Geo with 3 cylinders!

So, in other words, it’s not the _size_ of the SUV, but the mileage that it gets??

Or something.

Right?

Er, what? 😛

I once drove an SUV. I did notice some, ah, shrinkage. It’s OK now.
