Reply #35: That stereotype has a big kernel of truth-you're right!

I live in a city with narrow streets that were built on 17th-century cow paths. I have seen SUVs get stuck on many one way streets with parking on both sides. I have also seen some of the WORST driving behavior from SUV drivers (and in Boston, aggressive driving is commonplace among all drivers).

The guy who owns my local gas station hates SUVs because they aren't subject to the emissions standards of regular cars. Maybe the DUer defending his SUV driving habit doesn't care about the environment and the future damage that his children and grandchildren will have to deal with. That's the American way I guess. We're selfish consumers living in our own worlds before citizens living in a community.
