This is my first contribution, so try not to be too judgemental. (Yeah right)
These vehicles need to be eliminated from our collective lives. Never has a vehi cle so utterly useless been as popular, well, at least since the rise of rap "mu sic". Generally, who drives sport-utilities? (Or "utes" to fans of these useless mistakes of engineering). More often than not, it is the white suburban male, a ges 21-44 who classifies a tough morning as running out of decaf and being forced to use instant. People who own one of these 10-foot coffins will say, "I need them for off-roading." Right. Like anybody who lives in the suburbs is going to suddenly get an urge to go drive up Mount Kilimanjaro in a vehicle mistakable for an oversized Altoids box? Most of these people would shudder at the thought of actually going off-road. They might get dirt on their $29.95 wash-and-wax coati ng.
Another reason to dispose of these things is that they have the worst fuel mileage ever. Gun the engine, buy a tank of gas. Get two blocks to the gallon on a day with gale-force winds at your back and nobody in front. OPEC is getting rich off this. Then these things are larger than some 3rd-world countries and are the only ground vehicles to have first class, business and coach sections. (To snitch a line from Jay Leno). All told, these are the most useless vehicle ever conceived since the inline skate.
