So, out of curiosity - what're you driving?

I dunno. Speaking as someone who was a biker before the SUV boom hit, *everyone* is an asshole when you're on a bike.

Fuck 'em all.

The bad rap SUVs have, I'm still a bit lost. What about vans? Are they not the same? Or are they exempt from hate because you can have sex in them? They are just as hard to see around at stops.

Not to mention they are DAMNED slow. If I get to a light and one lane has 6 cars in it and the other lane has one vehicle ony and it is a van, I get behind the 6 cars. It's like women in ATM lines...what the heck are they doing!?!

you see it's funny cause it's true

Good god though, have you seen what people do to the SUV's. They raise them 24", put skid plates on them, put in high performance parts that half mpg. Then they use it as a daily driver from home to best buy never ever seeing dirt. That's why noone attacks vans.

Fuck river trash. If you live in area codes 714, 909, or 949 you're at ground zero for this sort of thing: just look for the 'Remove 4 River' trailer hitch cover, personalised licence plate that reads something like 'RVR4EVR', NASCAR stickers, and driver in Black Flys sunglasses who clearly runs with the bigs dogs because he is a bad ass boy with a bad ass toy as per the sticker in the rear window.

In last week's rain, I saw three of these morons who had gone out in their jacked-up trucks, found out what sand tires do on wet pavement, and either rolled them or stuffed them into something else on the freeway; one had rolled over onto another car. They probably took the truck because it was raining, and with the extreme climactic conditions created by a couple of days' worth of drizzle at least two feet of ground clearance was required just to get to the mall in order to stock up on Bad Boy Club tank tops and Coors Light 24-ouncers in case civilization as we know it was washed away.

Oh, and yeah, minivans annoy me because they block my view about as much as SUVs do - but I do actually see minivans with more than one person in them on a fairly regular basis, so at least they're being used somewhat efficiently more of the time.

Pickups are the worst. The ones I see are either carrying nothing, or carrying 12x their maximum weight. In CA pickups are commercial vehicles, I see them on constructions sites but no where else do they really do their work.

The seats do not recline as well as in a car or van, there is no trunk or place to secure stuff. What's the point? To look cool driving it?

Another thing that is ridiculous: Porsches or Corvetes doing 65 in a 65.

In TX, EVERYONE has a truck. A lot of people actually use them, but even more don't. The problem with the ones that do is that they can't afford another car for when they're not using them. So, they've got this big ole pickup for hauling their boat, which gets a good deal of use in the summers, but it's also their every day commuter. Then, of course, you've got the folks that deck out their trucks for offroading, and then are afraid to do so much as run over a speed bump with it.

I still remember my times in Texas. If you did not have a truck you were considered a tourist.

I think texans that don't like texas all move to riverside (909)... I don't think there is another logical explanation for this.

[astcell]

I think Texans who don't like Texas join country bands and then say bad things about the US while overseas.

Ya think they'll be welcomed back in Texas?!
