As long as the marketers sell the idea that all that safety equipment will ensure total safety...the emotional vehicle buyers will always migrate toward those vehicles.

What is so damn funny is those people who own the monstrous vehicles, and only use it to transport one or two people on a regular basis.

I was at the theater one night, and this Surburban pulls up and parks next to my vehicle. The driver had to pull forward and backup a couple of times to get the damn thing into the parking slot. Than she hops out, all 5 foot or so of her and out comes her daughter from the otherside. Huh! The lady can't even drive the freaking thing it's so big....and all that just to transport about 200lbs of human mass.

This morning I rode my motorcycle into work. I get better than 33 miles per gallon riding it like a steed out of hell...with little care for how much throttle I'm giving it. Not an hour into my day at the office, I hear a co-worker b!tching about gasoline prices...LOL!
