![]() "Dave Stadt" wrote I don't even try but if I had to guess I would say small penis. I don't have a SUV, but I think that characterization is off target. It really isn't that hard to figure out. Lots of room to haul people, kids and their stuff, kids friends, and other general stuff. Four wheel drive, so you can still go when it snows, or you park in the wet grass, and get stuck. A feeling of security, when you are driving by a 53 foot long semi-truck trailer being pulled by a 28 foot tractor, or when pitted against a little import in a crash situation. Showing, for all to see, that you are successful enough to be able to afford how ever much gas it burns, no matter what the cost. The ability to pull trailers with ease, filled with whatever toys you have, like boats, camping trailers, lawn mower trailers, covered trailers for moving your kids into school, or what ever other trailer you might want to pull. Try doing all of that with your Toyota Corolla. -- Jim in NC |

Only twice as heavy and more susceptable to side winds. I've gotten into a lot more trouble when I can't stop when it's snowing than I have when I can't go. "Can't go" is an inconvenience, "can't stop" is life threatening. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ Can I LART an aol'r for attempting to subscribe to a majordomo list with their street address, or should I wait for a second offence? -- Allan Stojanovic |

Only twice as heavy and more susceptable to side winds. You obviously haven't driven many SUVs and are just reading what others write, who also haven't driven SUVs. I've gotten into a lot more trouble when I can't stop when it's snowing than I have when I can't go. "Can't go" is an inconvenience, "can't stop" is life threatening. True. And this has exactly what to do with SUVS vs. cars? Cars have the same problem stopping on slick surfaces as do SUVs. Matt |

![]() "Paul Tomblin" wrote Only twice as heavy and more susceptable to side winds. twice as heavy (which they really are not) means more weight on the wheels, which give a higher coefficient of friction, plus the fact that they have bigger tires. It also helps if you don't drive faster than your ability to stop for the conditions. If you don't like SUV's, OK, but this is a stupid argument to base the cons on. -- Jim in NC |

Only twice as heavy many cars weigh more than my SUV. and more susceptable to side winds. like mini-vans? Seriously, there is no great secret to driving in the snow. Take it easy, take it slow, allow plenty of room. This doesn't change one bit whether it's a regular car or an SUV. -- Bob Noel no one likes an educated mule |
