3/26    Honda Element and Scion.  Ugly or not?  Cool or not?
        \_ live closer to work and walk, jackass.
        \_ I have always said that SUVs were ugly, bugly, and fugly. But
           both Element and Scion take the word ugly to a whole new
           level. No, they're not cool (even for a fad). If you want cool,
           get a MINI. They're much more fun to drive.
           \_ i love my mini... cooper, that is.
           \_ i love my mini.
           \_ Whole new level?  I don't know.  The Aztek is currently
              far and away the ugliest thing on four wheels.
              \_ OH GOD!!! I guess I completely forgot about the Aztec
                 because people just stopped buying them. Yeah, there
                 are no words to describe how ugly the Aztec is.
              \_ I dunno man, the H2 is pretty dang ugly.
              \_ YUGO!
              \_ The Element is all about being practical, while not
                 looking boring.  Pretty much spot on for 30something
                 lifestyle.
                 \_ I thought it catered to the teenagers and young 20
                    somethings.  I've read articles about that.
        \_ I love the Element, and would totally buy it.
           The Scion looks weird, but it is a good deal for what you get.
        \_ Odyssey, baby:

        \_ Order of ugly:
                PT Cruiser
                H2
                Aztek
                yermom
                Scion Xb
                Subaru Baja
                Element
           Honda wanted to sell the Element to 20-30 somethings but
           they failed miserably and everyone driving them is over 40.
           Drive one if you think putting around in a plastic
           kleenex box is cool.

7/20    Do people not know that the only place where there is no speed
        limit is on a freeway onramp?  Which means that it is the entrant
        driver's job to speed up and get in past the existing traffic?
        \_ The ones who can't accelerate are in SUVs
           \_ True.  My 2nd-gen Prius (not the 2010) accelerates on the

8/7     Russians naively buy American SUVs for their off-road capabilities and
        get into trouble. Hilarious!
        http://englishrussia.com/?p=2001
        \_ This is funny!  Those SUV drives don't know off-roading.  1. Lock
           the differentials, or apply the gas and the brake at the same time.
           2. Put a piece of wood under each wheel.

7/15    help, if i see anyone driving a Land Rover or Humvee in a non
        combat situation I automatically think they are an asshole.
        \_ what's wrong with that?
        \_ Look at the way those cars were advertised a few years ago.
           They are marketed as "fuck you" cars.  No duh people who own

        "The average cost of owning and driving a car 15,000 miles a year is
        $7,830 according to AAA. SUVs are even more costly, at $9,990 per
        year."
        Wow!
