Ah, fair point Mr. Tex.

I'm just so horrified that anyone would want to drive that monstrosity.

On the flip side, I saw three Hummers with "For Sale" signs in their window in one day here in So Calif.

Of course, maybe they were just selling them to buy this F650.

[evilgenius]

You laugh, I saw one of those in the JCRS parking lot the other night while I was on my way to the liquor store, not from.

[evilgenius]

And it was sitting there idling.

It's shorter than the Hummer Limo.



How 'bout the tires on this little baby?

[Pretorian]

Honda-Pilot EX, a tiny bit more than 27K with taxes and everything. Very, very happy. Will never buy a regular car ever again. Safety&comfort are kicking ass big time.

[auscanman]

It's people like you that make me hope gas prices sky-rocket

[Pretorian]

it might surprise you but i also want them to sky-rocket. I don't particularly enjoy sharing the road with teenagers, welfare-suckers, retirees in their 80s-90s , addicts, owners of 100yo vehicles or mentally-disabled people. Hell, I pay only 4.1-4.5 cents a mile more than if I drove my old Honda-civic. If ( when ) gas will hit $6 a gallon, i will be paying 9 cents a mile more. Its well worth it. Just think how much would you pay to have a 10% chance to survive a car-crash a second before it happens. A 20% chance?

You know SUVs an such are safer in an accident. But in other smaller cars you are less likely to have an accident.

Oh well, time to invest in oil futures.

Around here (Western Wisconsin/Minnesota) there are lots of SUV accidents in the winter, as they seem to roll over easily on icy roads, which is the kind of conditions that the bozos that drive the things seem to buy them for. I laugh as we drive down the highway in our Chevy Metro 3 cylinder and see the 4x4s and Suvs sitting in the ditches. But mostly I stay off the highways as why should I go anywhere? We like the place we live, so why travel.
