The responses yesterday were hilarious.

SOME COMMENTS:

Just keep rearranging those deck chairs, Fr*nce.

These a-holes are going after SUV's, while a gaggle of Mooslim goons were just arrested for plotting terrorist attacks on Paris. They deserve anything they get, except our help or pity after the fact.

Funny, they seemed perfectly content to have Nazi tanks rolling through town.

Re: Further proof the French are weenies

I've always hated SUVs (seemed too much like minivans for people who didn't want to be seen in minivans) but damnit if the Frogs ban 'em I'll buy one ... maybe two. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Further proof the French are weenies

From what I understand, most people in France are pretty friendly towards American tourists. Don't know how much that might have changed due to recent stuff. If you decide to go I recommend you learn some of the language before you go. I took French for 3 years in high school. Don't remember a word of it. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Further proof the French are weenies

You guys take this s**t entirely too seriously. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

From this thread, it seems that's particularly true for some who sterotype me and every other SUV driver as an arrogant hater of mother nature, other drivers, blah, blah. [img]graemlins/eyes.gif[/img]

Yes, I actually do take big boxes home from Home Depot in it, drive more than one person at a time, etc. Are there a lot of overindulgent, obnoxious losers who drive SUVs solely as a status symbol? Sure. Do a lot of them have the driving skills of a distracted 2 yr. old? Yep. ...But thanks for stereotyping me and probably the majority of other legitimate-need, considerate SUV drivers in with those losers. [img]graemlins/eyes.gif[/img]

Oh, and BTW, that SUV my wife drives? It weighs the same as, gets the same gas mileage as, and takes up as much room as my own PC-acceptable 4-door sedan. Same engine, in fact. But it has a heck of a lot more room for people and stuff, and plows through our frequent snows great.

Don't be a tool and believe everything you're spoon fed by the media and/or cheesy environmental groups. Or the government, even. Do some research and think independently. That big round thing on top of your head is there for a reason. [img]graemlins/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

That big round thing on the top of my head is a bald spot. You insensitive lout. Maybe I should get a French weave.

Re: Further proof the French are weenies

What shreddermon fails to mention is that his 4-door sedan is a '74 Buick Landbarge that gets 4 MPG and spews enough smoke to block the sun for a quarter mile behind him. [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img]

This doesn't change the fact that SUV drivers are idiots, assholes, morons, dipshits, fucking stupid imbecilic retards, and total fucking losers mixed in with about 4 people that may actually at some point haul something or carry more than two passengers. If you drive an old-ass beat to fuck Suburban, yeah you probably carry shit in it. But who the fuck carts shit around in a fucking ESCALADE?

We won't even get into the fact that SUVs are fucking ugly.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Between this and your other post, I don't think it's SUV's you have an issue with, it's Escalades [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] . Seriously though, why should someone "need" a vehicle just to own one? If we all only had what we "needed" then we'd all be driving Geo metros or some friggen' hybrid something and just slog along our merry way. Who really cares if someone buys something they don't need? Maybe we should all just turn our guitars in. We sure as hell don't need them. I imagine more people actualy utilize the capability of an SUV than just what's in your immediate surrounding. [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img]

Hmm. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I haul my guitars IN my rusted out sand covered SUV, that's ticking like a time bomb.

No, it's a Mazda 6. And the SUV is a Ford Escape. Both avg. about 20 mpg overall with the V6 engine. (Those EPA numbers on the window sticker are PC-predetermined, non-"real world" cycle [img]graemlins/bs.gif[/img] . This is our actual experience.)

P.S.- Notice that BM and many others typically mention the big "status" luxury brand SUVs in their rants? I'd bet that most of the SUV issue is subliminally more about financial status and jealousy towards the (perceived) well-off, than it is about SUV size, gas mileage, and the environment. I doubt most critics even understand their own true motivations and inner feelings. [img]graemlins/idea2.gif[/img] ...That'd make for a very cool - and probably embarrassing to environmental advocates - psychological study.

Bingo Shred.

Also, my buddy's Excursion has hauled my entire band's gear on more than one rainy night when our pickup trucks woulda been kinda useless.
