A case for big cars/trucks

[Shatmandu]

Yes, we should all live like cowards and only buy large inefficent expensive SUVs just in case that 1 in a million accident happens.

That's very stupid.

Do you have insurance?

Coward! What're you afwaid of, you big sissy? Your widdle bumper-wumper going to denty-wenty a twucky-wucky? Be a man! Screw the law!

Do you wear a seat belt?

Coward! You afraid of a steering column? You afraid of being thrown from your pretty pink vehicle?

If you're not man enough to hold yourself in a rolling vehicle, you might as well be sucking a dick while you drive.

COWARD!

TLS: What town did this happen in?

Because I'm a volunteer firegfighter and I subscribe to a forum in CT that chronicles Fire and EMS activity. No such accident was reported in CT in the last two days.

Middletown-Cromwell line. State police responded.

60+ into the woods and no FD response? Bullshit.

I'll tell my wife she made the whole thing up.

Wouldn't that be ironic.

What almost hit you? A dump-truck?!

Glad you and your are safe but I'm still of the opinion that a wel-designed high-end midsized or large car would be just as safe as an SUV and a whole lot more efficent, better on the enviroment and makes you look like less of a lemming wanting a status symbol/dick extension.

If you *need* an SUV to work on a farm or do things you need 4-wheel drive or something to climb a mountain for go for it.

Tooling around the interstate between the 'burbs and the mall?

Get a Taurus.

Choose whatever vehicle you want for your own purposes Trekker. Me, I prefer a vehicle that serves as a mobile office, protects my family, is great in the snow, comfortable for clients, and can haul my sports stuff.

And since I couldn't care less about my carbon footprint and can afford the extra fuel cost, I'm roilling with a full size vehicle.

SUV... Good!

Smartcar... you be the judge!

 

[T'Baio]

And since I couldn't care less about my carbon footprint...

And yet you say you care about your infant daughter.

Great milage though! What does a Hearse get by the way?

Yeeaahhhh.

I'd rather provide a safer vehicle for her rather than worry about the global warming hoax. But that's just me.

Sometimes I look at smokers who say they didn't know that smoking was bad for them, and think; "You have to be retarded to not know that inhaling smoke into your lungs would do some damage."

I think the same thing about people who don't believe in environmental degradation with all that smoke coming out of all those tail pipes. You think it's good for the environment?

 

[Bisz]

All those unneeded large cars on the road are a menace and unsafe. I hate the American mindset of "I'll drive a tank to work and to the mall just down the street from my house cause its cool, hum-de-dum-de-dum", its retarded. I'm glad no one was hurt, and I hope that that SUV of yours never rolls over on your or that you never plow into someone else who's driving a sensible car.

I kind of find your avatar amusing, its like... f*** the environment... get Jesus. :S

Indeed. It certainly wouldn't *hurt* things to dump less crap into the air.

Personally, I would *like* to have a relatively small car that gets great gas mileage, but then reality sets in. I have to have enough room for my family (wife + 3 kids), be able to carry my drums to practice and concerts, and be able to get myself to work safely, which requires some highway driving. Put all that together, and I need *at least* an SUV or a minivan. It would be nice to be financially comfortable enough to be able to afford a car for every occasion, but that's not going to happen. I would imagine that a great many of the people in large vehicles are in that situation of needing a vehicle for all occasions.

@Miss Chicken: I would *love* to be able to ride a bus (or train) to work so I wouldn't have to drive, but the vast majority of the US doesn't have decent public transportation.

It is good to hear that your family escaped the crash with only minor injuries. It is times like those that really illustrate what really matters in life, and family is number one.

Horse Shit.

Dunno about the hearse, but the Smartcars great mileage is apparently due to atmospheric drag being far less than road friction when it gets hit by midsized cars and subsequently flies through the air with the greatest of ease...

Glad everyone is okay.
