"whew! no I'll get off my soap box." ... gee, thanks for that.

"It's stated in every driver's license test - Driving is a priviledge and not a right.

You don't have the right to drive a vehicle that is heavier than the road you're on was designed to accept."

- Are you serious? This is total blather, please explain to me how someone driving a Surburban ruins the highway anymore than a passenger car? A big rig I can see, weighing in at 80,000 lbs, but a Surburban? No. Don't buy it. And "driving" is the priviledge, not what I "drive", this is still America, and I do get to choose.

If there are tax breaks and different emmissions regulations for SUVs then address those with your congressman. Don't take my right to tow my race car from me because you percieve some imbalance between the way passenger cars and SUVs are treated and built. Why not call for the bumpers on passenger cars to be raised? Makes as much sense...

"Don't try to tell me that 95% of Suburbans, Hummers, Expiditions, etc aren't used as passenger vehicles."

- Sure they are, but then I also tow a race car and a boat with my SUV, so what concern is it of yours? How do you proppose I get my boat to the lake?

So banjomike what kind of millage does your 911 get? I know my MFI 2.2S gets about 18-20mpg (not very cleanly either!) My 2004 Suburban is getting 16.7mpg, and I'm willing to bet pollutes less than either of our 911s. So which cars should be off the road?
