- nobodaddy, on 06/25/2008, -24/+138I don't think I'll miss anything about SUVs.
- inactive, on 06/25/2008, -17/+100I will miss making fun of all the idiots stuck driving them who used to act like they were
1.) rich
2.) better than everyone else
3.) cool
4.) important.
Clearly you were just a douche bag with too much money or credit on your hands and a desire to seem cool. - greenwald, on 06/25/2008, -11/+91Hummers will forever symbolize America during the Bush years.
Hummer = Quasi Militaristic manifestation of arrogance, greed, and waste. - Sornos, on 06/25/2008, -10/+82SUVs are safe in the way that walking into a room and shooting every person inside is safe. Sure, now that you shot them, they can't hurt you, but at cost of everyone in the room. There is also a danger of your gun taking a corner too sharp and rolling over several times.
- wreckosaurus, on 06/25/2008, -5/+67what we won't miss: guys like the one who wrote this article that think driving a big car makes you a man.
"Even the meekest guy you know could fire up the V8 in his sport-ute and immediately become a bigger, more manly man. Suddenly, he’d take cruel pleasure in tormenting hatchbacks on the freeway. He’d close to within inches of the guy ahead of him and make would-be lane changers reconsider the errors of their ways. In a world where guys sometimes feel like everything’s slipping from their grasp, the behind-the-wheel feel empowered more than a few to intoxication."
Funny, I always equate SUV's with soccer moms and ***** with low self esteem... - Pissoff, on 06/25/2008, -1/+57Was it a whale of a good time?
- built2spill, on 06/25/2008, -9/+63Conflict? Attitude? Intimidation? This list is for pricks.
- SecondCherry, on 06/25/2008, -9/+59I won't miss them. No-one here has them - we pay nearly $9 a gallon for gas here in France. But then, what Americans call 'compact cars' we just call 'cars'...
- ileen4justice, on 06/25/2008, -17/+63I guess the rich parents will have to take their kids to sports practice in a hybrid....oh the injustice! (just kidding) I'm glad they're gone!
- inactive, on 06/25/2008, -4/+50Right. Like you're ***** in your car.
You're a digger. - NightcrawlerX, on 06/25/2008, -7/+53Looked up Hummer in the Urban Dictionary: Hummer n. what you and all the other soccer moms will have to start doing to pay the gas bill for your ginormous SUV. Pucker up, beeyotch.
- inactive, on 06/25/2008, -1/+38you sure she wasn't on the shifter?
- Divals, on 06/25/2008, -6/+38Once me and my ex did it in the front seat of my old Nissan Sentra... now that was a tiny car, plus she weighed about 350 at that point. Where there's a will, there's a way :)
- evilgourmet, on 06/25/2008, -2/+32I will miss watching the idiots try to parallel park them.
I used to love watching morons park for hours. - Sucka27, on 06/25/2008, -2/+29The honesty of this post pleases me.
- sodade, on 06/25/2008, -4/+30buy a small subaru - mine is much more trustworthy than my 4x4 truck in the snow.
- Turambar, on 06/25/2008, -3/+28:-O ... :-(
- RoroCo, on 06/25/2008, -2/+26Did you dump her to move up in weight class?
- Pissoff, on 06/25/2008, -3/+26Hotels are too fancy the prostitutes he can afford.
- Jennica, on 06/25/2008, -2/+24I had a 94 Ford Explorer, and just recently got a 97 Nissan Sentra.
So much better.
I always see these people riding in SUVs, and it's always women, and I just think, "They don't need that much space". - woofer1125, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2211) having a drink holder that can fit a baby emu or a small child
- thentro, on 06/25/2008, -4/+24#11 - Not having to learn to drive.
- thentro, on 06/25/2008, -4/+24My Subaru will go anywhere and is actually fun to drive.
- DreKor, on 06/25/2008, -6/+26That articles boils down to:
The thing we will miss most about SUVs is being able to compensate for a small penis with a giant car. - inactive, on 06/25/2008, -2/+22I wont miss the following SUV drivers:
Soccer moms
Women on the way to Starbucks who can't see over the steering wheel
The ***** guy compensating for his small penis
Wannabe rappers - svensko, on 06/25/2008, -4/+24SUVs aren't safe. Please don't think that bigger = better than. They were classified as trucks JUST SO that the big 3 didn't have to meet the safety standards that cars require.
- chanop, on 06/25/2008, -5/+22I'm trying to get rid of my Jeep Grand Cherokee right now for a car. I'm trying to get rid of it as fast as possible as the prices for these things plummet. The thing is great in the snow, but it's more cost effective to miss a day of work than to continue driving this thing.
- pryoee4, on 06/25/2008, -3/+2011) Soccer Moms...
/giggity - MaxP3, on 06/25/2008, -16/+33sedans are too small for backseat love :(
- Pissoff, on 06/25/2008, -4/+20Especially for everyone living in the rural Midwest.
- SVOboy, on 06/25/2008, -1/+17I'll mainly miss not being able to see around them in parking lots.
- 1of42, on 06/25/2008, -2/+18If you cannot get around in the snow without a big ass SUV, you are a ***** driver. I (like the poster above) live in Canada; my town got 9 feet of snow this winter, and I drive a sedan. The only thing you really need is front wheel drive - but you can even get along with rear wheel if you put some heavy ***** in your trunk.
So yeah, stop making ***** excuses for why you "need" an SUV. - Shao00, on 06/25/2008, -2/+17still driving my 98 grand cherokee, 130k and still kicking. i'm not scrapping it until i see a plug in hybrid on the market.
- Cerialthriller, on 06/25/2008, -22/+37ill miss the safety factor of being able to actually get anywhere in the snow..
- inactive, on 06/25/2008, -0/+15Or by douchenozzles in their rice rockets weaving in and out of traffic thinking their Integra is so bomb-***** with their soup can exhausts.
- Gurette, on 06/25/2008, -1/+15hahaha... that's so true! I love seeing Hummers in the city searching for parking spots.
- MattB123, on 06/25/2008, -2/+16Not when we're eating all that fatty fast food and driving everywhere anyway.
- aliengoods, on 06/25/2008, -8/+22Yes, future ambulances will be Prius'. And future fire trucks will be Rav4s.
Nice attempt at fear-mongering, but try again. - inactive, on 06/25/2008, -14/+27Buried for the 'hehe.'
If you ain't a school girl, don't giggle like one at yourself. - mk3k, on 06/25/2008, -2/+15SUVs are more dangerous for their drivers and everyone else.
They brake slow, accelerate slow, and handle poorly. - BelatedHero, on 06/25/2008, -0/+12Yep. Women driving huge SUV's while talking on their cell-phones and cutting other people off in traffic. I wonder how many accidents are caused by this scenario.
- crownedgriffin, on 06/25/2008, -3/+154WD isn't needed for the snow, and an SUV isn't needed for 4WD.
- thentro, on 06/25/2008, -3/+14The thing I never liked about driving a SUV is you never feel like you are really "driving" the thing. Sure you control where it goes but you are basically in a big room with an engine that you point in the right direction.
- inactive, on 06/25/2008, -1/+12Or better yet, a soccer mom driving a 8000lb monstrosity just to go get her $5 Starbucks.
- 0260, on 06/25/2008, -0/+10i like SUVs that actually do SUV work. offroading and hauling and such. they dont belong in the city though and i dont like the SUVs that are designed for the city/suburban soccer moms
- Pissoff, on 06/25/2008, -2/+12Don't they get like 18-20mpg? What are you trading up to, something that gets 24- 28?
Tax title and license on the new car clears that difference, not to mention the ding you take for driving it off the lot ( new or used ).
Figure out how much gas a couple thousand dollars buys, and then see if you're going to make up that difference in 3 years. Lots of people bail on their mid-size only to end up wasting even more money than the gas would of been. It's amazing. - splinter09, on 06/25/2008, -10/+19As I never had one....don't think I will anything about it
- inactive, on 06/25/2008, -4/+13Dugg up for that fat ass bitch.
- jeffhansen, on 06/25/2008, -3/+12Never understood why Hummers came with tinted windows.
I thought one of the reasons you bought one was to be seen in it. - seraph582, on 06/25/2008, -0/+9Those were literally *the* female SUV of choice for quite some time. Very girly.
