Sorry Don, I feel the need to clarify my previous post also. Stick (and
others) have said that it's not the SUVs, its the drivers. Well yes, any
car becomes a dangerous weapon when in the hands of a drunk or bad driver.
However, it IS the SUVs to some degree. These automobiles are so much
larger and heavier than the typical car on the road that said typical car
stands very little chance in a collision with one. This has been well
documented in the media. I personally know someone who suffered serious
injury when her car (Volkswagen golf) was hit by one of these cars. She was
in intensive care and the driver of the suv walked away without a scratch.
It's scary. If you get hit by one (accidentally or otherwise) you have a
good chance of being seriously injured, if not killed.

Ok Don, sorry but have to say this.
I got hit by a SUV, 4 broken ribs and a busted kidney.
I was in though a Chevy Blazer, which got hit broadsided,
and that Blazer saved my life. Took one hell of a hit.
Guess what I'm buying next.. Blazer.
I'm just a little scared when I see a SUV coming at me
anywhere, but it the driver that's the problem, not the
SUV.
Twang content-I too am going to the Birchemere to see Del and
the boys.
