people who hate suv's

[illegal_eagle187]

i dont get why people hate them so much, i mean they talk about how they are gas hogs, but the people who say that forget to include.......exotic cars like the lambo murcielago....9 in the city and 13 highway ........trucks, the get shitty gas mileage, also alot of V8 powered cars?....and plenty of other cars.....i mean they have their right to not like them, but if ur gonna talk about it gas wise, dont forget to include other cars

[Mediocrity]

The problem extends far beyond gas hogging..

c'mon, man. how many lambos are there? how many suv's are there. not everyone can buy a lambo (even in LA), but most anyone can by an suv. and most people tha buy trucks actually use them. that the point of the arguement.

edit: i spelled buy wrong and it pissed me off

How many exotics do you see on the road? Exactly so shut up. I hate SUV's because they seem to get bigger and bigger. They are ugly as sin, and you can never see past them. They are not safe, and I don't get the feeling of safety when I'm in one. Quite frankly I'm even scared to drive them because they are just so big and clumsy I feel like I'm going to flip over or plow into something.

I agree. It just feels un-natural sitting in one. I have noticed they also have the most difficult time slowing down or stopping.

They are dangerous to people who are in them, because of their massively high center of gravity and proneness to rollovers. More imporantly, they're dangerous to other non truck and SUV drivers because they weigh a LOT, and they take up a lot more road than smaller vehicles. How many people actually use SUV's for what they're built for? Not many...most SUV's are daily driven by poeple who commute. They are completely unnecessary, and a danger everyone on the road. I get very uncomofortable driving around SUV's.

Now lookie at the little dood running there on the left hand side. If that had been a pinto, geo, or plastic saturn, he could have stood still and the car would have gone through him.

The thing I despise about SUVs is that in a regular CAR, or even in another SUV, you can't see around them AT ALL. I HATE hate hate driving behind SUVs because I cannot see around them at all. I feel SO unsafe being behind one. I ca'nt see brake lights, I've got no idea what's in front of that guy, if he's braking and speeding, or if he just slams the brakes randomly... no idea why. I stay WAY back from SUVs and I STILL can't see jack crap. Same with vans and Trucks, but it's the worst with SUVs because that huge covered back doesn't hardly let you see even peripherally.

Maybe if the guy in the PT Cruiser didnt run a red light there wouldnt have been an accident

^i agree and i cant see aroung them when im backing out of parking spots

[illegal_eagle187]

oh well i like driving them, i feel safer in a collision due to massive size, the other day is was driving a suburban, and in front of me was a little MGB, i was like wow, i could literally drive right over them

[drewh4386]

I like them but i think they are pointless to have unless you have alot of stuff/people or you live in a rocky/hilly/wooded type area.

since we all know that big cars are safer than little ones.

I think you just summed up why people hate people who drive SUV's. Because what you just said is the reason why most people buy SUV's. People buy them so they can drive a monster truck that protects them in an accident while destroying everything else. SUV's were orginally created for off-road purposes (i.e. Jeep) or to be used like a truck for towing while hauling a bunch of people around (original Suburban). SUV's today, with the exception of a few, do either of the reasons mentioned.

That's exactly the mentallity we don't need, yet most have. It's rediculous that one would feel safe getting into a car accident with a smaller car knowing they'd be the ones who were fine.
