12/12   How come sedans don't have rear window wipers?  Both SUV's/vans/wagons
        whose rear windows are more vertical than sedans, and hatchbacks whose
        rear windows are more horizontal, have rear window wipers.  I'd think
        sedans, being in the middle, should have them too.
        \_ Good question. Perhaps it is because SUVs are seen as luxuries.
        \_ "And this rear window is juuuust right!"

        \_ what do you propose we average Joes do about climate warning?
           Oh really? Yeah, exactly.

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
              on-ramps fine.  -- !OP

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!
