I hate SUV's Options

[ashes1850]

I just wanted to put it out there that I really hate SUV's and the gas that they suck up. Why would a person want to buy a car that gets like 10 mpg?

over in china they have a new car thats a cross between a van and a mini cooper and it gets 60mpg. They have laws about the dimensions and about minimum gas mileage. Why are we not following their lead? And the gov't wastes all their money and our money on technology to build a hybrid SUV which really does not exist as the electricity shuts off at about 40mph. So anyone who drives major roads uses up gas anyway. Unl;ess a family have like six children you don't need a big car. God forbid that children have to share the back of a sedan. Just getting those feelings off my chest.

Why do people get SUV's? Why not? Its personal preference.

Why do people buy 30-40 dollar steak and lobster dinners at a restaurant when they're just gonna crap it out the following morning? Why dont they just get a 5 dollar steak from Shop Rite and cook it at home?

becuase it affects not just the person doing it but everyone around them. its a personal preference that the person fails to recognize is a preference of everyone else. just like smoking. if you're gonna smoke, fine. just do it away from me. if you're gonna put yourself in harms way, fine. just do it far from me.

this is the problem that exists because people are selfish and only think of themselves. they don't realize the effects of their actions.

the only reasonable rationale for someone to buy an SUV is if they were going to lug around lots of stuff or more than 4 people. or if they go through a lot of uneven terrain frequently.if interior comfort is the only thing, buy a lexus or a mercedes. if its height, go take a bus.

if you're gonna buy filet mignon only to shat it out later fine, just don't do it in the stall next to me.

if you're gonna buy an SUV, you better know how to drive it AND PARK IT the right way. i hate seeing an SUV in a parking space marked for "compacts"

you really can't compare steak to an SUV. yes they are both luxury items but the byproducts are hardly comparable. plus, would you rather be hit by an SUV or a steak?
