It's nice to be apart of the responsible 10%

The SUV thing pisses me off especially. Because soccer moms want to have the status symbol of an SUV but drive it like it's invincible and get into so many accidents cause they are clueless, insurance rates for SUVs are skyrocketed. Now I spend alot of my summer offroad, camping. I have a genuine use for an SUV, so I spec out a Wrangler and I was gonna buy one until my insurance agent told me it was going to be over $5,000 a year to insure it here in NYC. Five grand, FIVE GRAND, I can insure a Viper anywhere else in this country for five grand but I can't insure one of the smallest cars on the road? I guess I should put some money away for a new exhaust on my car again for after this summer.

It's also like the Titanic, SUV drivers, because they can afford a 40-100k truck to use for personal reasons and don't have the responsibility of needing to learn how to drive it, they out-weigh everyone by a ton, and are thereby safe and snug in their monstrosity when they do get into their easily avoidable accidents. So when they smack into someone in a Cavalier, or worse, a Fox bodied stang, they kill the people in the other car on impact but only have to replace the headlight on their tank. Why? Because they can afford to buy the SUV and the other driver can't. Is that really how we want our driving society to function?
