SUVs driven by *******

[TDAWG]

I know exactly how you feel. I see it all the time. Even my wife has made comments about it. There should be special licensing for any person who buys an suv to take a course of off-roading as well as learning what it can and can't do. Here in RI when it rains or snows I see suvs slow down to a crawl like it was a sports compact or lowrider. If the street gets flooded they do the same thing. I always say to myself " Why do they buy it if they have no clue how to drive it." I guess it's because to them it more of a stat symbol than practical symbol. At 1st I thought that maybe it was just a kid or woman thing no offense to all the real women who actually know how to drive 4X4s. But it's not just them it's guys too.

So i guess you can call me a pu$$Y, but i have almost as much paint on the front of the Axiom as the VX has on the entire car. I do plan on a custom clear bra when i get my paint done but that will still run $400 through a friend

My favorite are the ones with 30" lifts running 40+ inch tires that slow down to a crawl to go over a speed bump that my daughters lowered Nissan could take at 25 mph!

I slow down for speed bumps and pot holes. You don't? You're screwing up your alignment (or worse!) if you don't.

Besides that, the tight suspension and big wheels make the ride impossibly hard at speed. Also, if I go too quickly, the bouncing makes me lose control of my vehicle - not a good thing to happen in a top heavy SUV. I imagine even worse in a 30" lifted vehicle.

I dunno, somehow I expected a post with cats driving trucks. Kittens maybe?

Unless you have some substantial mudflaps, passing on gravel is a no-no

It flings rocks all over other cars, and occasionally (often up here) right at the windshield. I'm sure that your'e not making any friends by doing it. Who's so impatient that they can't follow an (overly) cautious driver through a construction area for a mere 1/4 mile?

I drive on gravel (lots of it) every day, through mountains, etc. Today it's snowing and 21 degrees. If you want to prove your SUV's manhood, stay out of the ditches -you won't impress me by driving fast.

I have to agree, Passing on gravel is not cool.
Construction zones have maditory slow downs in my part of the world.
It's not about getting dirty and playing rough, it's about manners.
Rough play is for no traffic zones.

It must not be clear from my post, that passing requires moving into the oncoming lane which is not gravel.

I understood ya, Wyrre. Still doesn't make the slowpokes pusses though!
