(some people put a big ram-bar on the front.. to increase fuel economy I guess)

Go on.. choose the broad sword. Your throat will be slit with the rapier before you heave it into action.
Apparently you haven't seen the movie Rob Roy?

Well, if you really need a SUV with a statement, this is pretty cool...

I'm a pretty "live and let live" kind of guy. But I gotta agree with Steve Stromberg. There is a stone company located in hte heart of my neighborhood. They got "grandfathered" in when the zoning board set up the neighborhood. So sadly, we get a steady stream of fully loaded tractor trailers barrelling up and down my crowded, narrow street. I can't tell you how many power lines have been pulled down, how many side mirrors have been smashed, how many car doors have been dented. It is rediculous. Plus, my street is the only residential street in town with pot holes from end to end. Giant PITA. Sadly, there is nothing we can do about it.

Oh yeah, and that giant SUV is hilarious. How small does your p-nis have to be if you need to buy one of those? I'd say you'd have to be a borderline hermaphrodite if that is what you need to prove your masculinity.

Why is it that "extreme" yankee vehicles always look like they were designed by 13 (and for) 13 year olds?

That is one goofy looking vehicle.

Is that a ULEV badge on the fender? j/k.

Whose design is that? You go to all this trouble to make this behemoth look slick, intimidating and massive -- really to make it look like "don't f*ck with me" and then you put those candy-a$$ headlights on it? Maybe that's where a 13-year old's attention span just craps out.

Hey, if you're notfarnow, who is?

I posted it, really, because it was such a huge JPEG.

Here's the link to more info on this behemoth. It's called the "Bad Boy."

http://www.cowboycadillac.com/f650printad.htm

Aptly put, the site's name is "Cowboy Cadillac."
