Thread Name: BS: Seen the SUV = Terrorism Ad?
Subject: RE: BS: Seen the SUV = Terrorism Ad?
I own a minivan and I heard recently that it was considered an SUV.
I have always called SUVs Urban Assault Vehicles, not original but apt perhaps. I think the Terrorist Connection is just as ridiculous as a Motorcycle/Terrorist or Boat/Terrorist connection. The fact is we use a lot of oil. Some comes from the desert.
In Argentina's ill advuised war with GB for the Falkland(Maldives) Island Argentina powered it's army on bio oil. Sunflower as I recall but I could be miss remembering this. I remember hearing it behaves very much like diesel fuel without remarkable effort in refining.
Imagine the US with an agrarian economy again. I don't know that it is fiscally possible but lately if some one in the government, on the radio, or in the paper told me it wasn't, I'd think they were lying.
