And he brought his little friend along too…
Look, moron, that is a satire site. It has no bearing in the real world. Trust us, it is just a joke you are took stupid to understand. Everytime you quote it you make yourself look dumber and dumber.
I’m sure your mommy would be upset with you if she learned you were playing in the road again…or was this just your Hot Wheels track we’re talking about
You see, we are about fighting ignorance here, not creating it.
If you saw me driveing home today, I would have been the only one in my SUV, with no cargo. That doesn’t mean that I never have more people than that in the vehicle with me.
You see, boy wonder, some of us in the “real world”, really have familys of our own, and some of us even have “friends”, people who will hang out with us and go places with us. I understand this is a difficult concept for you…Sitting alone and hopelessly lonely, with nobody to play with, and even though your mother tells you that the reason no one will play with you is because they are all just jealous of how your “Special”…but deep down you know that you really are just a pathetic little misfit and that nobody will ever love you. You won’t have anybody to take with you if you ever get to drive a car, because nobody wants to play with you. You won’t have a house to fix up, and need to get supplies for, because they won’t let you live alone. And because of this, you just don’t understand that we don’t take our friends and family with us every time we go out. You remember how your father didn’t take you along when he left years ago? (yes it was your fault), its sorta like that, only we love our children and we come back to them at the end of the day. And you can’t comprehend that when we buy stuff to fix up our house, we take it home and use it. NOt just haul it around all day for no reason like you do with your tonka truck(the new, safer, plastic variety, I assume). And those who pull trailers and boats, don’t always take them to and from work each day. They come off. I think that even your toy trucks can do this(if you have any with trailers). Try it, well wait for you. We don’t have SUV’s just to do these things, and another car to drive to work. You see, the SUV will do both. Its really a multi-purpose vehilce. Sometimes it huals stuff. Sometimes it hauls people. Sometimes it pulls a trailer, and Sometimes it just takes me to work all by my self. Even then it usually takes all my friends to lunch, as eveyone likes to ride in it. If you would be a nicer little boy, maybe some day someone would let you ride in one too! Wouldn’t that be fun?
That wasn’t the question. You were asked two simple questions - “What percentage of Lexus SUV’s are driven off-road?” and “What percentage of SUV’s are Lexus’s?” - and you can’t even answer that.
Instead, you come back with this crap - and if your “report” is truthful in the slightest, I’ll eat my underpants - about Honda Accords.
Lexus is not Honda. Although, given your state of intelligence, I’m not surprised you can’t tell the difference.
I gotta be honest here. I don’t think I could find the courage to admit that I had the time and I went out and counted the number of occupants in various vehicles.
FJ, when you went out, did you drive around? How many occupants were in you car? How many people can your car carry? Am I being presumptious? Do you drive?
Listen you dumb bastard, what do you drive? Are you making full use of it 100% of the time you break out of the home? Just on the driveway?
Do you wander around saying things like…“Gotta go to K-mart…yeah…d-d-d-d-definitely K-mart…440 Oak Street…yeah…Cincinatti, Ohio…these are briefs…I need boxers…yeah…d-d-d-d-definitely boxers…Hanes 36…gotta go to K-mart…440 Oak Street”
Whereas we are yelling at you, "What difference does it make where you buy underwear? Underwear is underwear!!! Wherever you buy it…in Cincinatti…or wherever!! >jump back in car, slam door< “You’re not going to tell me you’re not in there Ray…you’re in there somewhere…”
And another thing… you can probably squeeze ten people into a Honda Accord. You could probably shove 10,000 pounds of stuff into an Accord. But how well would it drive? In theory, one could fit the entire population of Earth in Texas… does that mean we SHOULD?
An Accord is, what, a 1.6 liter 4-cylinder engine? Less than 100 horsepower? Heh… good luck hauling two thousand pounds of grass sod in that. Heck, good luck hauling two HUNDRED pounds of grass sod.
Y’see, Ol’ John, a smart person does NOT acquire only the bare minimum of what he or she would need. If that were the case, the majority of people would have an Isetta or an Austin Mini, and we’d be in this thread ranting about how people buy a Honda Civic or Accord to “bully other drivers” (damn those SULEV owners, they’re destroying our environment!). No, a SMART person gets something a BIT MORE than what he or she “absolutely needs”. Think of computer programs as an example… if a program required at least a P-166 processor, but recommended a P3-450 processor, which would rather have?
John, how often are buses filled to maximum capacity? How often do big rigs have a full load of shipment?
See, not everything is used to its maximum capacity all the time.
My friend drives only himself to school in his Explorer, but after school he often drives a bunch of his friends around, and almost ALWAYS has his drum equipment in the back.
John, try making a logical argument, instead of trippin over your own words.
:rolleyes:
Umm, the Lexus RX 300 is an SUV
the Honda Accord is a sedan.
"For example, minivan buyers tend to be more comfortable than sport utility buyers with being married . . . "
Minivan buyers are also less likely than sport utility buyers to have reservations about being parents. "Sport utility people say, ‘I already have two kids, I don’t need 20,’ " Mr. Bostwick [DaimlerChrysler’s director of market research] said. “Then we talk to the people who have minivans and they say, ‘I don’t have two kids, I have 20 – all the kids in the neighborhood.’ . . . If you have a sport utility, you can have the smoked windows, put the children in the back and pretend you’re still single.”
Who ever said otherwise, you braindead silly excuse for a sentient lifeform?
Honda is a company. Lexus is a company. Can you tell the difference between those companies, yes or no?
If yes, why did you start referring to Honda Accords when asked what percentage of Lexus SUV’s are taken off-road, and what percentage of SUV’s are Lexus’s?
You still haven’t answered the question. Could it be because - gasp! - you are only interested in causing trouble?
I’d suggest you get some Phonics, Ol’ John, 'cuz it’s obvious you have problems reading.
Umm, more than 1% of the time.
SCORE!!
What would engineers know? What the marketing people and the executives tell them. Read on!
[emphasis mine]
P.S. I’m sure there’s a double entendre in there somewhere.
Do your stuff, “bitch”
Cite?
And where, pray tell, did you get this quote?
What relevance, pray tell, does this have to do with the dozen or so questions that have been posed to you in this thread that you have yet to answer?
(Ten bucks says it’s from his little pet shitsite that he masturbates over).
Why? I’m still waiting for YOU to actually address the questions posed to you. I’ll repeat them again for your peabrain…
-
What percentage of Lexus SUV’s are taken off-road (YOU speculated on the number, over and over, YOU find out).
-
(More importantly) What percentage of SUV’s are Lexus’s? (I can guaran-damn-tee you that it’s the vast minority).
-
What relevance does off-roading use have to the overall value of an SUV?
Until you answer those questions, I don’t even know why you bother continued participation in this thread… unless my original theory about you was true, that you are simply trying to cause trouble. Oh, heck that’s another question for you…
- Are you simply trying to cause trouble?
There. We’ve held your pre-pubescent hand through five pages of this shit, doing YOUR homework, debunking YOUR bullshit again and again and again, putting up with YOUR lies and YOUR misdirections and YOUR debating fallacies and YOUR laziness and YOUR desire to be an asshole. The least you can do for people who have been so fucking patient (in real life, people’d have grabbed you by the back of your collar and tossed you out on the street) with your inanities and ignorance is actually TRY to address these VERY simple questions posed before you.
Oh, wait, I’m just “baiting” you. Sorry. I didn’t know rational communication counted as “baiting”. You coward.
:rolleyes:
Hey, try looking up the word “rhetorical” sometime.
More proof that you are unable to comprehend the meaning of someone’s post. Stop trying to avoid directly answering questions that are asked of you. If you noticed the last part of my post, you will realize the point I was making. If not, I’ll walk you through it like the child you’re acting like.
Here’s another odd thing. When I was coming home from school, I found I was unable to see exactly how many passengers were in the SUV’s I did see. There’s this stuff called “tint” on the windows that makes it kind of hard to do that. I also found it very difficult to see how much stuff they had in the car. There’s this stuff called “metal” that is very opaque, and quite impossible to see through. With this information, I can conclude that you LIED about your “informal study”, and the data you were able to obtain.
And, as a side note, I didn’t see ANY Lexus SUV’s on my way home. And living in LA, I see quite a lot of SUVs.
“SCORE!!” :rolleyes:
SPOOFE: Do you really expect an answer? I’ve been asking him to describe the scenarios he mentions, and I’ve been ignored. Methinks that he came up with a bit of unsupportable rhetoric, and when he got called on it he pretended that he never said it. (I can see him curled up in a fetal position, covering his ears and shrieking, “Nooooooo!”) Oh well, taking a cue from The Little Prince, I’ll try again.
Then I said:
and
Oh, I guess he has answered, in a way. By deliberately avoiding the questions, and continuing with his lies, misinformation, and avoidance of any legitimate challenges to his idiocy, he’s painting himself as the bridge-dweller and CLoD he is.
I can picture Ol’ John’s response to the plethora of pertinent points of debate brought before him… “Whoa, someone called me on something I did! What do I do, what do I do?!? My mommy always said I’m special, why don’t these people see this?!? I know! I’ll go back to my shitsite, masturbate over a probably-doctored image of a jeep with small wheels, and randomly C&P a few lines to throw them off the trail!”
I mean, I can practically SMELL his panic. It’s hard to make out through the stupidity, though.
Well, I’ve gone by this thread countless times after giving it a quick glance when ol’ John first posted it. I thought the OP was weak as hell and not worth replying to.
So, having nothing better to do I read the whole thread and I was thinking about a real life accident…
Three young guys were heading down the highway in their mom’s '90 Jeep Cherokee on their way to do some shopping. They are buckled up and are heading north at 65 mph. Unknown to them there is a 2000 Ford Contour approaching them from the north. The driver of the car has a deathwish and just happens to pick the Cherokee as her method of suicide. The woman points her car directly at the Jeep and says goodbye to the world. The Ford doesn’t hit the Jeep quite dead on because the Jeep driver was able to crank the wheel to the right at the last moment.
The Jeep goes into and then over the Contour, shearing the roof off the smaller car before hitting the ditch and flipping end for end twice before landing right side up. The woman in the car gets her wish and dies instantly.
The passengers in the Jeep survive the crash although the driver’s injuries are severe. He has a fractured pelvis, a ruptured spleen, and multiple fractures in each leg. He has no injuries above the waist whatsoever ands does not even get bruised from his seatbelt. The passenger next to him breaks his leg and is knocked unconcious. The passenger in the back suffers a broken collarbone. He climbs into the front of the Jeep and kicks out the windshield. A lady who came upon the crash called 911 on her cell despite thinking that everyone was dead.
The driver of the Jeep has to be airlifted to a hospital to undergo emergency surgery but in the end, he and all his friends recover.
I saw this Jeep afterwards and was amazed at it’s condition. The left front of the truck was demolished, the force of the collision had driven the front wheel into the driver’s footspace which was the cause of the multiple fractures and ruptured spleen to the driver. The windshield was gone but all the side windows were intact The passenger compartment had remained intact and all but the driver’s door could be opened and closed. The back window had shattered as the rear door is made of fiberglass.
The 4 door Contour had been turned into a convertible coupe.
The police officer at the scene stated that had the boys been driving anything other than the Jeep or a similar truck they would have suffered the same fate as the driver of the car. A minivan would have been vapourized and would not have kept structural integrity after multiple roll overs.
The driver of the Jeep was my then 18 year old nephew, he is now 20, he and his SO are expecting their first child in June. He drives a full size Dodge pickup and swears he will never own a car… go figure.
My sister bought another Jeep, a Grand Cherokee. She is a social worker and works primarily on a nearby Indian reservation. She travels on roads that are unpaved, filled with potholes, and guaranteed to tear the suspension out of most cars. The police use four wheel drive Suburbans to get around. We can’t forget the snow which turns to water in the spring and turns otherwise bad dirt roads into a mud bog. I can’t see my sister driving a Honda Civic to work, can you?
SUV’s don’t suck. Some of us truly need them.
My next vehicle will be a 2500 Suburban 4x4 diesel. At 8500 pounds and three feet high at the bumpers the only SUV bigger will be a Hummer. There are seven people in our household and since I transport clients at work I will often need the seating for nine. I go camping and fishing and need something that will go anywhere and carry everything I need. I don’t want or need one of these fancy leather trimmed, fully apointed luxury SUV’s that never see dirt. I need a truck. If my wife is taking the kids somewhere I’ll breathe easier knowing that she is driving a tank. She was seven months pregnant and driving our Dodge Spirit when a guy in a 3/4 ton ran through an intersection at 50 mph. The car was totalled, she has a pin in her ankle, and we have a beautiful healthy baby girl.
I want better odds if this happens again because things could have turned out much worse. My wife and then unborn daughter could have been killed and I would have killed the motherfucker in the truck. I came pretty close to this as it was. I’d be in jail and my other children would be living with my sister.
John… your OP is still weak as hell but this thread is the best advertisment for SUV’s that I have seen anywhere.
Umm, you previously made the following statement:

Asked and answered.
But have a nice day!
:wally
“Asked and answered”??? I asked you what “fantasitc scenarios” you are referring to, and you say that you "wonder what percentage of LEXUS RX-300’s have carried even 1000 lbs. of “building supplies, plaster, etc.” "
father:wally were you born stupid, or did you have to study? I wish I could post audio and video here so that I could show everyone my “barking idiot” impression of you!
Let me explain it to you. (I’m hoping at least one neuron will fire in your foetid grey matter.) When someone asks you a question, you answer the question. An “answer” should not be in the form of another question, as your response was. Let me post an analogy:
everyone in this thread: We’ve given examples of what can be done with this hammer. What other tasks have we not thought of?
father:wally: I wonder why you use a wooden-handled hammer instead of a fiberglass-handled one? I WIN!!!
Don’t you see how idiotic you appear?
I challenge you: Tell us all what “fantastic scenarios” you mean when you say that SUV owners create “fantastic scenarios” to justify their ownership. Give us specific examples. (I wonder how you “know” what these “fantastic scenarios” are? Are you psychic?)
The question again, in case you’ve forgotten it in the past several minutes it took you to read the last paragraph: What “fantastic scenarios” are you talking about? Specifically?
Schmuck.
I don’t think my scenario was too fantastic.
I can get you some amazing pictures of the wreckage of both vehicles. I have a clipping I carry everywhere just to remind me of how fortunate my nephew was and how lucky I am to be able to see him on a regular basis.
I think I’ll fire up the new scanner…
