I live in Minnesota where it seems like everyone and his brother owns an SUV. I see one everywhere I go. And, you know what? They are really starting to piss me off! No one needs a freaking Sports Utility Vehicle just to drive half a mile down to the grocery store. Minneapolis/St. Paul may not be New York City, but it's not exactly freaking Siberia either. Now, I'd be willing to let this all slide as a minor annoyance, except for the people that drive them.

Whenever I crane my neck upwards so that I can see the person in the drivers seat, it's always some little 5'4" prune, or a wanker hillbilly with a ratty baseball cap and a cigarete in his mouth. Even this would be acceptable if it weren't for the way they drive.

It doesn't matter if your doing 160 in a 30mph zone, they still think you're going too slow. Nothing is more annoying than looking in my rear view mirror and seeing nothing but a big-ass grill with a Dodge logo in the center. This brings me to my final, and most recent, reason for hating them.

I got off work at 7:00PM today and headed for home. Now, at this time of year in Minnesota, it's just about pitch black at 7:00PM. As I turned onto my street, some dumbass in an SUV pulled up behind me with his high beams on. The damn things reflected right off my rear view mirror and went straight into my eyes. I was now effectively blind, but I was right at my driveway, so I just made the turn anyway. However, I had driven just a bit too far and missed my driveway, hitting the curb with my right front tire before I could bring it around. The car jumped about a foot into the air and, when it came down, I heard a huge *BOOM*. So, I drove to the end of my driveway and got out to inspect my tire. As it turns out, I not only blew out my tire, but also put a huge f*cking dent in my hubcap. So, now I get to limp down to the auto shop tomorrow and shell out $100 to have it replaced. If that damn SUV hadn't been tailgating me with his high-beams on, this never would've happened.

I drive a BRIGHT reddish/orange Porsche with headers and a supertrapp muffler (that means it FUKCING LOUD!) and dumbasses in SUV's still can't see me.

Here its usualy the soccermom who's too busy shuttling her brats to activity after activity (so she doesn't actualy have to PARENT them), she's too preoccupied with the kids' schedule and whatever conversation she's having on her freakin cell phone to actualy pay attention to the road!

I hope they all have Firestone tires and keep putting off the recall.

Tonight, in fact, I was almost run off the road by some CLOWN in a suburban (I sh!t you not, an actual clown! It is Halloween you know).

SUV's (A.K.A 4WD's) are absolute deathtraps !! they have NO energy absorbsion abilities at all, they rely on what they hit to have it. any sedan that gets hit by one has it's crumple zones ETC redered practially useless because the SUV's impact area is dead set in the window of the sedan.

The other reason i hate them is because out here we have the ADF, which checks cars and crap for road saftey, dont pass ADF can't buy it out here. the only ADF rule an SUV passes is that it has A F*CKING seatbelt.

But you cant get a Ducati 996SP because its hi-beam and low-beam headlights are two different globes.

i guess it's justice then, that i see a head on between two SUV's /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif which i did, damn i was cheering, but no one could figure out why i was laffing. oh well, suck on that you f*cking yuppies, burn in hell all you wankers, and take your gold plated mirrors with you !!!!!!!!!!

The only reason I hate SUV's is because I don't have one yet. /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif Anyone know of a nice 1995 or later Ford Explorer or Chevy Blazer, low km and cheap?

And...

Not to mention that they have horrible fuel milage, they block your view on the road of what is ahead (Ive been boxed in by the damn things too many times), are an incredible rollover hazard, and they just plain suck (in my opinion).

I respect those who actually use them for what they were designed for. If I ever moved out of suburbia, and actually had a need for one, I would buy it. Until then, never.

BeerBaron, I would also respect the original Range Rover as an SUV.

Go '87 Toyota Camry, 4 cylinder complete with spark plugs, and fine cloth interior with plastic molding!!! A fine quality automobile if I ever saw one.

Whatever...

I live in St.Paul MN and the drivers here, unless they're expatriates from another state, seem to regard the turn signal as an optional device, and that turning left from the right lane is just fine...I drive a VW Scirrocco and have nearly been flattened by Explorers, Blazers and Suburbans. When snow hits they get even more stupid. I have never lived in place with crappier drivers.
