I have friends who drive all kinds of cars, including the big ones. The reason I don’t like huge vehicles is because the drivers feel overly confident in them and tend to tailgate or use less caution when they feel protected by their 5 tons of metal. I also don’t like them because they block the view, you can’t see around them or over them. For me it has nothing to do with gas consumption. Also, they just plain take up too much space (on the road, in the parking lot, wherever). If you’ve ever traveled you’d know why there is such an auto trade deficit: our vehicles don’t fit on foreign roads.
I must admit that it’s good to have friends with trucks, so I can hit them up when I need some junk hauled!!! ;D
