A result of the push for big SUVs

[llmart]

13. Your last paragraph is spot on!

It's just one more way that shows me how gullible and taken in by advertising the American public is. What makes me shake my head are older people, especially smallish women, who have these behemoths and can barely get up in them let alone drive them. And don't get me started on how they park them! It's one reason I love having my Civic because I can zip right into some of the close spots at the airport parking deck where two big-ass vehicles park outside the lines and I can still fit my car in. I almost always get a prime spot that way.

I live in a neighborhood of mostly older people. There is one lady in here who drives a huge SUV and I have to laugh because she's short and she actually looks ridiculous in this vehicle. Another guy in here has all sorts of medical issues and he drives a full sized conversion van. He's fallen getting out of it a couple times now and ended up in the ER but he won't trade it in or drive a sedan. Also, these people aren't driving anywhere except for two miles down outside out sub where we have access to anything you need.
