1. NOICE!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

2. I've stopped thinking of SUV owners as evil.

Mostly because when faced of the choice of family appropriate vehicles, I would have to pick an SUV over a minivan. I can't bring myself to do that.

Note: Hummers, Escalades, and outrageous sized SUVs need not apply.

3. What's wrong with a "station wagon"?

[BrklynLiberal]

4. Subaru Outbacks are the best.

[BlueEyedSon]

6. See?

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

11. Subaru Forester is a great little car for soccer mom types too.

Wonderful 4WD from Subaru..can climb solid ice! Big enough to load up kids and groceries and it's not a gas guzzling pig.

[Blue Wally]

31. The good Democrats

of the United Auto Workers union thank you very much for sending their jobs overseas.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

32. I drive a Subaru.........................

and it was made right here in America (Indiana, I believe). In fact, Subaru America has just boosted benefits for their employees.

You were saying?

[hamerfan]

36. Subarus are good but...

While they're made in Indiana (and GM owns 20% of Subaru) they are not union-made. I own an Outback and it is a very good, reliable car. Note that Ford is now making an Outback-type vehicle called the Freestyle. It may be worth checking out....

45. Most of the foreign car companies

built their plants in anti-union locations with as few A-A folks around as they could get. Their plants are pretty much lily white except for the supervisors in the case of the japanese plants.

13. What's wrong with a Ford Escape?

33/29 mpg for an SUV

[Patiod]

34. I fell in love with an Escape out in AZ

Always hated SUVs - didn't understand that the ones that ride on a car chassis, like the Escape, can get really good mileage. And they're nice for us big/tall folks, relatively guilt-free

I'm hoping that by the time I'm in the market for a new vehicle, that I'll be able to afford and Escapge hybrid, and they'll have worked any kinks out of the process

[Warpy]

19. They don't make many of them any more

I drive a Ford Ranger out of self defense around here. Driving out west is a scary experience in a car, sharing the road with full size king cab pickup trucks on oversized tires, momvans, and monster SUVs. My old Ranger with its heavy duty steel bumpers makes me think I have a fighting chance. At least I can see where I'm going in it.

Trust me, if the roads weren't choked with these monsters, I'd have considered a little Japanese econobox hatchback instead, although I do use the Ranger to haul firewood and building materials from time to time.

I don't dismiss SUV owners as evil or even misguided. I just know that around here, they only want to see where they're going.

[rockymountaindem]

29. "Driving out west is a scary experience in a car"

I beg to differ. I drive a car and just zip right around those lumbering SUVs. Well, while obeying all traffic laws of course :)

(No seriously, with this graduated licence thing I hardly have any points on my license, I can't speed.)

[democracyindanger]

7. I never thought of them as evil

Just stupid and vain.

[mitchtv]

21. Not evil but the ones who tailgate,

while they are on the phone are obnoxious. I also can't stand the ones who HAVE to get in front of you so you can't see beyond them.Infinitys seem to have replaced Beemers for obnoxious driving habits.

[sistersofmercy]

23. Obnoxious drivers are behind the wheels all makes of vehicles

I drive an SUV and quite honestly I drive like a granny eventhough I'm in my thirties. I've never been in an accident except being rear-ended by a pick-up truck when I owned a Volvo about a decade ago. I was sitting at a stoplight and bam, the guy hit me going about 45 miles per hour. It did 6 grand in damage to my car and messed up my back. He was telling a story to the passenger in his truck and not paying attention to the road. Thankfully I looked in the rearview mirror just before he hit me and instinctively depressed my brake. It kept me from going into cross traffic, to this day I believe that little glance up saved my life.

[mitchtv]

28. true enough, but

there is something special about having a Suburban Assault Vehicle 3 feet behind you at 60mph, incidentally I include P/ups in that category. Honda drivers don't last long doing that kind of stuff. Driving a Volvo probably had a great deal to do with keeping you alive , too.

[democracyindanger]

33. Never let 'em in

I never voluntarily let an SUV in front of me. The idea that their illusion of safety trumps my very real increase of danger is disgusting.

20. Two Year Triplets! Wow!

You are busy! Congratulations on your little wonders!

[sistersofmercy]

10. Thanks for your input

I've owned my SUV for several years, I love it and don't feel a need to explain why I own it. I do have my reasons and they are mine.
I do wish others would just live and let live. Personal choices are just that! Whether it's an SUV, McMansion Supersized or the decision to send ones child to private school, it's a personal choice.

[Bunny]

14. You'd never know that around here sometimes, would you?

The demands, by the more-righteous-than-thou gang, to justify your vehicle, where you live, where you shop, etc. are ridiculous.

[Sterling]

37. It's a matter of walking the walk, not just talking the talk.

[nashville_brook]

12. ford and honda both are coming out with hybrid suv's

there's nothing better than an suv for hauling musical equipment. it's a shame.

[dmkinsey]

15. SUV's aren't safer than mini-vans

In fact SUV's are more dangerous. High center of gravity, blah blah blah

[AllegroRondo]

24. SUV's are 15 times more likely to roll over than a car

definitely made me think twice about buying one.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

25. Safety isn't my concern.

Minivans fucking suck. Period.

[driver8]

48. Mini Vans rock!

I was like you...I said that there was no way I would ever drive a minivan. We ended up getting one for my wife and I love it. It is easy to get the kids in and out and handles like a car. Plus, it is easy to park. We have a smaller minivan -- a 1997 Honda Odyssey.

[Hippo_Tron]

50. Out of curiosity why can't a car be a family appropriate vehicle?

Not that I have a problem with SUVs, I drive one out of circumstance (being that it's what my dad gave me), I'm just curious.

[Up2Late]

5. Hey, that's been the name of one of my web pages...

since 2002.
:wtf:
<http://home.comcast.net/~tfrancell/pro_america.html>
Why didn't I copyright that?:cry:

[sistersofmercy]

17. Maybe the guy saw your web page and had a bumper sticker made!

Or someone else saw it and had bumper stickers made. Great saying though. As I passed the guy I honked, smiled and gave him a thumbs up! He was parking and I was passing by.

[nashville_brook]

9. when i was making my commute thru the suburbs of nashville

it was a great commute -- reverse for the most part. it's a lawless land of mcmansions out to franklin on south on 65. if you do it right you can make a 35 minute drive -- 20 or less. lots of big curves and interesting cabers.

anyhow...

it would *make my day* to see someone on the commute with a good bumpersticker. extra points if they get in your groove and follow you at high speeds thru the straight-aways.

this is the land of SUVs and i see the occasional message. it's amazing how good that feels on your commute to your miserable little cube and narcissistic boss.

think about it. that's the time of day when you are most vulnerable, preparing for your day. it's just you and the road and machine and the other machines. a bumper sticker is a powerful message under those circumstances. especially before coffee, we were wide open emotionally. :)

if any of ya'll don't sport a b-sticker -- go get one. it's the least you could do for the rest of us!

[sistersofmercy]

16. The guy's other bumper sticker...

Republicans on infidelity
Clinton: Impeach him
Arnold: Elect him

[catzies]

18. Now THAT's cool! I like it.

:thumbsup:

[movie_girl99]

22. my bumper sticker says:

"i can dislike bush and still love america". I get so many compliments and evil looks. They were given out at a Kerry/Edwards debate watching party.

[Patchuli]

41. We got table coasters at our debate party

that said "Show W the Door in '04!" and noseholders on a chain
for our noses during Bush's comments. We played Debate Bingo and made Bingo when * repeated himself repeatedly! It was great!

My other friends had a lifesize Monopoly board game on their front
lawn. We rolled with huge foam dice and could buy what we landed on.
I owned Condi, Rumsfeld, Powell and Enron! For that matter, I won! LOL

I won't let my spouse toss out my Kerry/Edwards lawn sign either! At
least I had fun during the election...

[yankeedem]

26. "God is NOT Republican"

Bumper sticker on an SUV I saw recently. I want one for my non-SUV!

[GumboYaYa]

27. "George W. Bush is a Punk Ass Chump"

That's my bumpersticker.

I see lots and lots of good anti-Bush bumperstickers. Dissing Bush is like fishing in an aquarium. It's almost too easy.

[sistersofmercy]

30. Hi GumboYaYa!

How are things? I hope all is well. That's a funny bumper sticker! Are you going to the Dean get together Friday? I have a pretty funny business story for you, I'll tell you later.

[GumboYaYa]

46. I'm doing great. How about you?

Of course I'm going to the Dean get together. I'm working with one of the candidates for Alderman in the city and we are going to meet with Dean to discuss DFA support for his race.

Call me when you get some time, I may have some business for you. Also, let's have lunch next week if you have time.

[sistersofmercy]

47. Doing great as well

I'll give you a call in the morning about 10ish. I have a lot to tell you. Good stuff! I might go to the get together but...well I'll tell you later. Lunch would be terrific! Chat at you later.

[GumboYaYa]

49. I'll be in the office in the morning.

I talked to Marvin this week. He is a piece of work. I'm also having lunch with Marti on Tues.

[Bouncy Ball]

35. I've got a shirt that says that!

I love it!

[sarcasmo]

38. Saturn V6 Vue AWD great card 25miles per gallon

The Saturn Vue is in the SUV class but the small end and a great car with good gas mileage,

[nomatrix]

39. Back in 2001, when gas was around a dollar

a gallon, you could lease of 2001 Suburban at 0% interest. Just making the payments of $460 a month. If you took a 6 year lease you could buy it for $19,000. That's a $45,000 fully loaded Suburban. You'll see a lot of these on the road because many took this deal.

[adigal]

40. I made a bumper sticker today

from a template on www.makestickers.com. The template had George Bush in an space helmet in front of Mars, the red planet.

The text I put in:

BUSH TO EARTH:
There are no WMDS
on Mars either

Do you think I could sell it???

[sistersofmercy]

44. That's funny! n/t
