RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Gas prices.. was a weird forward..

[Neil Bradshaw <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I am generally against any vehicle that guzzles gas and is only used to do
simple city things.

SUVs chug gas and are designed to go off-road and handle dangerous driving
conditions. I hardly think a few snow storms and a lot of grocery trips
merits a vehicle like this.

Trucks are meant to haul things around. I get severly annoyed when I see
people with F350s hauling it like they're the cowboy kings of the
road.

And how many families really need minivans? If you only have two kids, a
full size sedan will do just fine. A full sized van is even more
ridiculous.

The point I was trying to get at is that Americans have this "bigger is
better" attitude, and they have to buy the fastest, biggest, most-rugged,
oversized vehicles on the planet even though the will never actually use
it to its fullest.

I'd be happy if I had a solid car with enough power to accelerate up hills
without power and enough room to seat four people. Something like a
Pontiac Grand Prix. It has power, but it's not ridiculous like a Corvette,
and it's not severly oversized like an SUV, Van, or Truck.

I'll stop ranting about cars now.

Regards,
Neil
