An SUV for status or coolness as compared to a Vette, Miata, etc. That
is hilarious.


I reached this conclusion long ago - there are indeed a lot of deluded
people out there. The advertisments tell them an SUV is gung ho and
cool, so they think it is so. The Corvette now has a
boy-racer/mid-life-crisis image, and the Miata has an image of being a
hairdresser's car, but a giant 4x4 now has accepted macho appeal. The
same thing to a lesser extent goes for a pickup truck, but most the
people I know with pickup trucks actually do throw **** in the back of
them from time to time.

I find that the combination of my snowplow mount on the front, receiver
hitch on the rear and NRA stickers all around, makes my K1500 plenty
macho. :-) I don't need no steenkin' SUV for macho.
