Thread Name: BS: Seen the SUV = Terrorism Ad?
Subject: RE: BS: Seen the SUV = Terrorism Ad?
Well, danged! I loved the ad myself and the "What would Jesus drive?" ad as well but, perhaps for different reasons. Yeah, that danged things are dangerous, especially in the hands of folks who know nothing about basic steering geometry. And ya' know what? Ya' stick an ordinary good citizen behind the wyheel of one and Mr. or Mrs. Ordinary Citizen becomes this real rude person who thinks he or she owns the road.

Now I'll be the first to admit that there are a lot of folks in this country find the SUV to be *just the car* for them anfd in mnay cases they are right. But, why sell the danged thing in areas where four wheel drive ain't ever needed except at the local tractor pulls.

One other observation I have made it that the auto manufacturers have this new hybrid looking thing coming out that is ann SUV in all r4espects except that the third seat is a 4 1/2 foot pickup truck bed. Hmmmmmm. Ol Bobert sniffin' a marketing conspiracy here. No that the market has been saturated with SUV's here comes another generation of FST's (Family Sport Trucks) or whatever they're gonna call 'em and so now Joe Six-pack is gonna have to trade in his 3 year old SUV for a FST if he wants to maintain his *cool* status.

I got 2 vehilcles. A 13 year old Toyota Camry with 192,000 miles and a 28 year old Dodge M880 (Army) truck with 4 wheel drive and no power steering for when it snows. If I have it my way, I'll be driving the same two clunks in 10 years, thank you...

Ahhhhh, anyone know what Bush drives back at the ranch?

How about bin Laden?

Saddam?

Nevermind........
