  • But what if I need my SUV for sporting or utilitating?

  • I'm sorry, but I simply don't buy your argument that SUVs indirectly put my dollars into the hands of al-Qaeda via the Saudis. My Explorer is so comfortable!

  • Yes, the average U.S. automobile has doubled in weight since 1990, but so has the average U.S. citizen.

  • I just feel bad for the SUVs, forced to live all cooped up in the city like that.

    Franklin Lowe
    Systems Analyst

  • Yesterday, I flipped off a guy who was driving an SUV. See, I'm doing my part to save the world.

  • My purchase of a Hummer was inspired by our 1991 Gulf War victory. After this war, I'm buying an aircraft carrier.
