i just think general statements like "I hate all SUVs" are ridiculous. Sure there are housewives on cellphones driving empty SUVs to get groceries...and that is a waste of space and energy. But many SUV owners use them for what they were intended. Just as with Porsches there are many who buy them for status (the old gold chain crowd) and dont have a clue about the history or the performance of our babies. This tends to be the new Porsche owner...thats why you dont see many 996 owners hanging out on Pelican...MANY are jerks worse than the SUV status seekers you talk about. Go to a PCA meeting sometime and watch the reaction of many a 996 owner to your SC. I drove up to the dealer last year in my 356 to have a look at the new Turbo on display, and was looked at with amused condecending glances. It would be pretty easy to say "all Porsche owners are jerks/snobs" but we know that aint so.
