@grue oh yeah I'm also a specifically bad driver, and live in a super dense hard to drive in neighborhood.

@grue yep, I'm mad about SUVs too! I think everyone should be. They're also way more dangerous for the people around them as well as being bad at the purposes they're advertised for.
I often say that if I decide it's okay to be a terrible person and I want to harm the people around me and punish and increase costs to my government I'll buy an SUV.

@grue yeah, so the commercials say. The ones I've driven haven't been particularly better than sedans except higher clearance.. making them more likely to rollover or break axles instead of scrape oil pans.

@groet and American SUVs would break an axle or drive shaft or get stuck in the mud puddles on the rural roads. SUVs are really impractical unless you build your whole infrastructure around them. @Davriellelouna
