I hate SUV's Options

[fastgt]

why buy an audi rs4 with 12mpg or a s4 with 16mpg, or a lambo ferrari ford gt with 8-12 mpg. Or an evo that gets 16-18 mpg, or a 350z with 16-19 mpg

Because we like certain things in life....get over it.

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?

Because a five dollar steak is crap. Thats why. The same things goes for suv's. Yeah, you can buy the crap car but if ou go for say the toyota yaris, your going to save A LOT more money.

OK so 100% of SUVs out there are crap

[Sh0gunkid8721]

You buy a 5 dollar steak and cook it right and it tastes good. U buy a 10 dollar cut of meat and cook it bad, it tastes like sh*t.

I will give you that. I just personally am not a fan of the cars. And trucks as well unless you can seriously justify it.

yes yes!! thats exactly what i mean. blame the chef, not the steak. its not what you have but what you do with it. its not the suvs that are crap, but its the people that use them for purposes other than what they are designed for, or do not have the expertise to maneuver them the correct way.

there are beautiful suvs that are designed to look pretty. and then there are the ones that are designed to be very useful for offroading. a lot of people overestimate their pretty SUVs and end up driving them off the road into other people or their cars. thats my only gripe.

it aint the car's fault

it aint the steak's fault

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?

amen brutha man..lol

hey hey hey,he wasn't talking directly to your mom, just to suv drivers in general...cool down..

my mom is an SUV driver. so doesnt that include her as being a "moron?"

i hate ignorant people.

[CelicaST_CALI]

ya well he is not stabing at just ur mom,there is a lot of drivers out there that have a SUV just to say that they have one,and they want to think they rule the world.

[Sh0gunkid8721]

I dont care if he was "just" stabbin at my mom or any other person. To insult people and call people moronic by the car they drive is assinine, ignorant and juvenile...

What if that person drives an SUV cuz his/her child is handicapped or physically disabled? That persons a moron i guess too right? Its ignorant comments like this that make me wonder what kinda morons are out there in the world.

[CelicaST_CALI]

ya i see your point here,but no need to blow up at him like that...

[Sh0gunkid8721]

Are there stupid SUV drivers? Yes, but believe it or not, there are many retarded Celica drivers as well...To generalize and say..."All domestics are stupid...all imports are stupid...all SUV's are stupid;" is ignorant. Hate SUVs...i could care less, but dont say people who drive SUVs are stupid. Theres a difference. Know the story before you go off calling people retarded, cuz my godparents work with the disabled and have to drive SUVs and Suburbans so they can fit extra people. I know blue collar workers that need an SUV to carry large items for work, and im sure everybody knows somebody that has a legit reason for owning an SUV.

[CelicaST_CALI]

yes but im sure people know people that have no legit reason at all for driving one,i have no problem at all with people driving SUVs if they use them all the time for work,kids or other activities ,but i personally hate people that drive an SUV as a daily driver and have no kids or a job that requires it...

well I know many people who would rather drive a SUV because they feel safer in a larger car. Would they fall under the moron category?

Knowing SUVs brakes slower, like to roll over, can't steer as fast as car to get out of the way of an obstacle and all at the time same be a death sentence when their 4000 lbs vehicle hit a civic, maybe egoistic? or Ironic?

[fastgt]

^ I don't know a lot of people who drive suvs and dream of racing laguna seca......

meaning I'm sure people who drive these cars are fully aware of the limits of these cars. Given there are a few who are completly dumb and cannot drive for crap.

Ill be honest, I drive a small bmw coupe and whenever a suv comes up next to me my butt puckers up real good cuz I'm scared they will not see me and hit me but I'm not going to sit here and say I hate them. My mother drives a 4 runner but we do have a large family. My dad owns a dodge truck, which I like to drive in fact. But then again we do alot of outdoor activities so its use is justifiable.

Just because SUVs have a bad rap for rolling, or demolishing a small car in an accident doesnt make them bad....in fact if you used that logic for all cars, no one would drive anything.

No I dont want to buy that sports car because they go fast and they will cause accidents. No I don't want that toyota yaris becuase one hit and Im a sardine.

As a matter of fact when I have kids I already told my gf that she will not be driving anything smaller than a merc ml of gl suv. I know she can drive, better than any female I know so I feel safe giving her an suv.

All I'm saying is don't blame the car blame the driver

[GriffGirl]

SUVs rolling over is SO late 80s, left over from the crappy wheel base that the first Ford Explorers got when SUVs first gained popularity. The truth of the fact is that SUVs, in terms of safety, have the same variance of safety ratings that sedans have, and are probably (without actually looking it up right now) a hell of a lot safer than our little sport coupes. They're comfortable and convenient, and we Americans love our comfort and convenience.

The truth of the matter is that it really isn't SUVs any more that are the culprit of where we are today with our dependency on foreign oil. SUVs are getting better and better mileage with each generation, I believe the average MPG for an SUV is about 21; what's the average MPG for a car? Probably about 25. There's some disparity there, but not enough to really site SUVs as the culprit of the evil OPEC and our relentless need for more more more foreign oil and supreme rule over the universe (as long as it's got something we want though, right?).

The culprit is us - we as a nation "elect" officials who are bought by big oil and corporate lobbyists looking out for their own selfish needs. The Good Ole' U.S. of A. has got the best damn government money can buy. And this is where it's gotten us.

I personally believe one part of the solution lies in alleviating our dependency on foreign oil by research and development of alternative energy sources, including for our automobiles. Why hasn't there been more done for the hydrogen fuel cell? Why is it even a QUESTION that Congress should enact legislation to require the average MPG for cars be 35? Why aren't ALL new cars hybrids? If Congress can enact a bill to switch our damn televisions over from analog to digital AND subsidize households with two $40 off vouchers for the converter boxes for the 10% left who DON'T have cable or Sattelite TV, why can't Congress require ALL motor vehicles (maybe not motorcycles) use hybrid technology? I don't give a **** about Halliburton or the likes and what they stand to lose if this were to happen!

Sorry so long winded... I just really think this particular issue is indicative of a much greater problem out there.
