Watching the videos of SUVs being “disabled” for Cash for Clunkers was beautifully cathartic.

Yeah, yeah. I know. Personal choice. Problem is that when manufacturers sell more Stupid Useless Vehicles, they tend to drop normal car and station wagon models, thus reducing MY choice of cars that don’t blow smelly goat testicles.
And there’s no FUCKING way in HELL that I’d ever want a G-d damned SUV. If I wanted to drive a truck, I’d get a job at UPS. I’ve never driven an SUV that didn’t have me wanting to rearrange the faces of the flaming assholes who misengineered it after five minutes of driving.
And people like Drevna are blithering, mouth-breathing idiots. The choice isn’t between an SUV and Smart Car. The choice is between an SUV and something like a Passat diesel wagon or Prius wagon. Both of which are actually bigger inside than many Stupid Useless Vehicles.[/quote]
Well, low fuel prices clearly aren’t going to help.. But that said at least the F-150 is using aluminum sheetmetal.. Probably good for my alcoa stock.
