Re: If you drive an suv...

Now don't take this as flaming, but here are the reasons why I wouldn't buy an SUV: 1. Cost. I like 35+mpg, and a lower price tag. 2. Top-heavy. I used to drive a conversion van, and these things are just not as stable as a lower-riding car. 3. Keeping-up-with-the-jonses mentality. There seems to be a feeling that an SUV is a mark of accomplishment for the 'burbs. I don't care what the neighbors think of me. 4. Danger! Aside from the debatable safety risks for those driving them, consider that SUV's make it difficult for other drivers to see around you, and the higher headlights are tough to drive towards. Also, you're far more likely to kill somebody in an accident if you drive an SUV. I don't want to have that sort of thing on my conscience. 5. No point. I don't need an SUV for sport or utility. And I'm not saying anybody out there who drives one is an idiot, I'm just pointing out some things to consider. Not everybody needs an SUV, and the money you save on not buying one can be used for other stuff.
