Kent - Some of the more radical "do-gooders", if you have watched the
national news, lately, are upset that SUV's, being heavier than than the
FWD tin-boxes, are becoming the "killers-on-the-highway", SO the
"do-gooders" are advocating that that we all should have an, uh, "equal"
chance to be killed in an automobile accident via requiring us to accept
tin-can vehicles to drive around!!!

After taking a look at the URL showing the result of a Vanagon & a Volvo
head-on collision, I'm convinced that me five GORGEOUS daughters will be
better off driving either Vanagons, MACK dump trucks OR backup vehicles
such as my old '76 GMC long-bed pickup truck!!!  Personally, I would
prefer to buy all five of me babes '38 Dodge dump-trucks to drive
around, BUT they think they need BMW or SAAB convertibles!!!  I'm busy
trying to convince them that '38 Dodge dump trucks will allow them to
haul around MORE of their friends, in greater safety!

I'm curious, though!  How many of you folks out there really agree with
the traffic NUTS that SUV's present a "PROBLEM" because they "outweigh"
smaller vehicles and give an "unfair" survival advantage to those in the
SUV???  I think these ASSHOLES need to move to UGANDA!
