Not mine, since I don't have any ... but, carrying other people's kids to/from Jr. High School, movies, the mall, yes! And, demonstrations of 'active safety' are usually enjoyed by my passengers, too. Some are amazed at the braking/handling/acceleration capabilities that seem rather miraculous compared to a typical minivan, SUV, sedan, or truck!
MikeZ ... maybe you should enlighten your wife about the performance capabilites of her SUV, and it's lack of an 'active safety' capability (and perhaps hers, too) when she is carrying your kids in her presumed safe cocoon, that really isn't too safe against reinforced concrete, busses, 18-wheelers, and larger-class SUV's/RVs!
For those not familiar with the term 'active safety' ... it is using the high performance capabilities of vehicle to avoid life-threatening situations in which you WOULD become an accident victim in a vehicle/driver combination of lesser capabilities! Unfortunately, many 911 owner/drivers DO NOT, or can't practice 'active safety' for one reason or another!
