SUV's irk me. Why? Cause from what I can tell, the majority of the people who purchase them don't need them. Who needs a four by if you stay on the road?

If you have an SUV, when was the last time you put in four wheel drive? Do you even know when you're supposed to use four wheel drive? Or did you opt for all wheel drive? Do you have any idea what all wheel drive means?

Sorry. Just got an email from mom. She's thinking of buying a Toyota Rav 4 cause it's cute. I shudder to think. She can barely pump her own gas, let alone drive one of those things.
 
So... uh... where's the poll?

Anyway, I cast my vote against 'em! I sure don't need one...
 
SUV's have replaced mini vans as the "family car" just as mini vans replaced station wagons.
 
I think SUV's are yet another way people attempt to be sporty. They also wear $150 Nikes with the matching running suits, and sit in a sports chair drinking gatorade and watching kids play soccer. They need four wheel drive to get to the mall.

After a blizzard, who do you think is stuck in the ditch?

Bunch of sheep.
 
Have one actually choose it over the *shudder* minivan when I had to trade me my sleak car. It goes into 4 wheel drive when there is a major amont of snow.

I love the way Hazie just pops in and posts once, then *poof* he's gone.

Plus points for the sheep comment dude.

:p
 
I have one, a 2000 Land Cruiser. I also have a mile-long, upward trending, gravel-covered driveway, live in a place that gets lots of snow in the winter, AND i'm not at all sure of my snow-driving skills.

While i might not use it to go off-road, it sure as hell helps me feel a little safer when the weather is bad and i have kids to cart around.

I've never, however, ended up in a ditch.

I adore flying over railroad tracks in my Beretta at 70 miles an hour.











Which reminds me, I need new shocks.
 
Muffie-

I found you another song-

Trampled Underfoot -Led Zeppelin


Greasy slicked down body, groovy leather trim
I like the way you hold the road, mama, it ain't no sin

Talkin 'bout love...

trouble freee-free transmission, helps your oil's flow
Mama, let me pump your gas, mama, let me do it all

Dig that heavy metal underneath your hood
Baby, I could work all night, believe I've got the perfect tools

A model built for comfort, really built with style
Specialist tradition, mama, let me feast my eyes

Factory air-conditioned, heat begins to rise
Guaranteed to run for hours, mama it's a perfect size

Groovin' on the freeway, gauge is on the red
Gun down on my gasoline, I believe I'm gonna crack a head.

I can't stop talkin' about...

Come to me for service every hundred miles
Baby, let me check your points, fix your overdrive

Talkin' 'bout love

Fully automatic, comes in any size
Makes me wonder what I did, before we synchronized

Feather-light suspension, coils just couldn't hold
I'm so glad I took a look inside your showroom doors

Talkin' 'bout love

Oh, I can't stop talkin' about love.


:p
 
Hazie-

The Song Ramins the Same was on HBO the other night, so i watched it for about the fortieth time.

Even strung out on heroin Jimmy Page annihilates most other guitarists.

Damn those guys were the best.
 
No Quarter
Close the door - put out the light
You know they won't be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don't you know
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through
[or on The Song Remains The Same:
Ê To build a dream for me and you]
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter - they hold no quarter
[or on The Song Remains The Same:
Ê They hold no quarter - they ask no quarter]

Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter - they ask no quarter

They hold no quarter - they ask no quarter
They ask no quarter - they give no quarter
[or on The Song Remains The Same:
Ê Oh, the misery without quarter
Ê Oh, the pain without quarter]
 
should we hijack this thread?

Houses Of The Holy
(Page/Plant)

Let me take you to the movies. Can I take you to the show
Let me be yours ever truly. Can I make your garden grow

From the houses of the holy, we can watch the white doves go
From the door comes Satan's daughter, and it only goes to show. You know.

There's an angel on my shoulder, In my hand a sword of gold
Let me wander in your garden. And the seeds of love I'll sow. You know.

So the world is spinning faster. Are you dizzy when you're stoned
Let the music be your master. Will you heed the master's call
Oh... Satan and man.

Said there ain't no use in crying. Cause it will only, only drive you mad
Does it hurt to hear them lying? Was this the only world you had? Oh-oh

So let me take you, take you to the movie. Can I take you, baby, to the show.
Why don't you let me be yours ever truly. Can I make your garden grow
You know.
