Check this line out 427190[/snapback] i'd just like to send out a hearty :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: to all you gas guzzling SUV drivers, filling up your 28 gallon tanks twice as often as I have to fill up my 14 gallon Cavalier does driving an SUV really compensate your ego for having such a small penis?

Why not blame Detroit for making them? Or better yet, the fed gov't for not following up on the plan for stricter fuel economy requirements for new vehicles?

Going after SUVs seems kind of Hot Pocket-ish to me. Perhaps we should burn all of the SUVs and go back to driving lead sleds - like the old '73 Impala with a 427 that I drove while in college. My point being is that people who choose to buy SUVs are hardly the problem, but they (we?) seem to make pretty convenient targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first post was crazy, blaming SUV drivers for this mess some how. Tell ya what, it is all about me as SUVs and larger vehicles are proven safer(if driven correctly) than small cars.

/dev/null Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 why the hostility toward the consumers? Why not blame Detroit for making them?427203[/snapback] I don't blame Detroit anymore than I blame Smith and Wesson for gun violence or Phillip Morris for lung cancer. They're just giving the consumers what they want. Or better yet, the fed gov't for not following up on the plan for stricter fuel economy requirements for new vehicles?427203[/snapback] if you've read a few of my PPP posts, you'll see i'm not one of those people who sees a problem and immediately blames Bush/Clinton/Bush/Reagan/Carter or anyone in the government. Its our own damn fault for being so dependant on oil (well, SUV drivers moreso) The only thing I can fault the government for is not pursuing alternative forms of energy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
