My mom's vehicle

[a nugget]

owning a giant SUV is part of being american, just like killing people for fun and weighing 400 pounds

Cool a fridge with wheels :D

[And3rs]

....a fridge with navigation system and rear view camera... impressive...

 

j/k, couldn't resist :D

[Who]

I kinda get what you mean but what anyone says does not change what happens. The only thing that it going to get SUVs off the road is stupidly expensive fuel or if it was found out they where made out of leopard heads.

 

SUV's are a style icon, its like why should you buy a designer jumper and ship it half way across the world when you can ware something your nan's knitted for you. Why should you go on holiday and fly all that way just to come back in a weeks times.

 

I only went into the environment issues with 4x4s, there are a million more as to why they should be removed from the roads. Chief of which is that one hell of a lot are:

 

Bad drivers that spend most the time up your chuff

Bad drivers that keep their eyes up their own chuff

Bad drivers that try and use the size to push through traffic

Bad drivers that crawl on corners and fast on straights (making them a huge pain to overtake)

Bad drivers that blame you for ANYTHING

Bad drivers that drive at 40mph in residential estates cause they bounce over speed humps

Bad drivers that relate to all the above...

Well Matt, think of it this way: at least it's not an H2. :p

That is impressive young Safiro!

 

With a Sat Nav you can enter the name you want to find in your fridge and it will give you exact route to find your item of choice!

 

And with a camera in your fridge, you can admire your food from your bedroom on your lap top!

 

Very.. Very Impressive! ;)

or if it was found out they where made out of leopard heads.

Those who happily go and buy SUVs for style probably don't care.

LOL!

 

On another note:

Well, maybe he's really from Surrey, in which case they need it just in case they come across a pile of leaves on the road. In that case we should make it our goal to convince his mom to buy a... Beetle!

Didn't buy the thing for style, my mom just likes them.

 

and beetle?? he** no, as long as I am on this earth there will never be a beetle in or within 100 feet of our garage. I hate beetles.

 

don't live in Surrey, do live in America.

 

and wow, I thought maybe you'd be another person that would not take a hit at American weight, but I was wrong.

Well Matt, think of it this way: at least it's not an H2. :p

Hehe the Hummer H2, Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe, and GMC Yukon are all based on the same GMT-900 Chassis.

[Immelmann]

The GMT-900 must be a witch. They burn when the cars burn, and as such, it must be made of wood, which floats, as do ducks. So if it weighs the same as a duck, it's made of wood, and witches burn, so, it's a witch! Burn it!

[Pherelas]

Thats kidna the same thing, you either buy them for style or becouse you want to go off road. Same with BMW's really, most people who have a 3 series could have a mondeo but don't.

[SLRRR]

Dont you like it ? I think it looks good.

 

But this one is even better:

 

 

And for all those three huggers, you can also buy a Escalade Hybrid :p

Well, If I bought a 3, well, actually, I wouldn't. If I bought a Bimmer I'd do an M5, but that is a car with purpose. It is made to go fast and take corners. The ST220 tries, but it wouldn't keep up with an M3.

uhh no it's really not the same thing.

 

When she bought it she didn't say "I am buying this because I will look good in it" She said "I am buying this because it's safe and I like it"

[iBilo]

I think this should end here...

 

His/his mum's decision to buy the car, end of. its not anyone else's problem what they choice, its their choice in the matter.

[Immelmann]

Ah, people will probably still try to bash it.

 

On another note, this reminds me of something on the Rick Mercer Report a while back:

Lone Guy in SUV:

 

[gingervette]

thank you, I am tired of being told what a bad decision we made for our vehicle

[a nugget]

you shoulda convinced her to buy a Corvette. it wasn't a bad decision, for the same price i would buy something a bit faster

[Immelmann]

What good would a Corvette be? The only one worth buying is the unattainable ZR1, also known as the only American car that can turn a corner.

[gingervette]

we tried

 

There was a 2007 red convertible with every option and only 5,000 miles on it at the same dealership but she doesn't like cars...at all.

 

I was pretty sad, but I love her Tahoe and I already have a Corvette so I will live lol :)

you have a vette?

 

My mom has an '06 Lincoln Navigator, but my dad uses it until he gets a new car...

[gingervette]

yup. it's a 1977 Corvette coupe.

 

There are pics of it in the "She's my Pride and Joy" thread! :)

[Shy Guy]

Nice man, wish I had a Viper/Challenger/Vette, but me too young to drive :(

[gingervette]

well I am too. I still have another 11 months and 6 days to wait until I can. Which sort of makes it worse because I have to see that thing in my garage constantly knowing that I can't drive it lol

[Jacob]

Take this u envoirmentalists u where thinking about geting trading our sliverado and mazda 3 on 2 suvs. because we like the room and power
