WHAT!!! These wallowing land-barges couldn't possibly even get out of their
OWN way. They just wallow into accidents, rolling and cartwheeling without
provocation.

You don't see Japanese or European cars crashing the way these "Yanktanks"
do... zero suspension dynamics, zero handling, zero roadholding, infinite
danger.
