Re: Lisa Horton is One Smart Woman: SUVs Stink

Wow. You can here the rocks rattling around in his head from here. What logic.

Fine, but that wasn't my point. I'm talking about truck drivers that speed or drive drunk or when tired. If caught they should be punished much more severely than a traffic criminal in a cavalier.

You should have mentioned that up front rather than making a blanket statement.....

Have you ever looked into comercial lisencing??? Truck drivers ARE punished with higher fines for traffic violations. Not to mention that you'll loose your commercial lisence before your regular one when you start racking up points.

OK, you advocate death penalty for 56 in a 55. What do you advocate for 56 in a 55 with a truck? -Dave

Speed limits are just guidelines like the maximum towing capacity of a vehicle... right Josh??

How about if everyone hangs up the damn cell phone, stops playing with the radio, and slows down to the posted speed limit? Keep a 4 second gap between vehicles and pay attention to what you're doing, and all cars and trucks are safe. OK, all except the ones with morons, drunks, and selfish bastards at the wheel. By morons, I mean the ones who literally don't know how to handle their vehicle properly, and according to the laws of physics.

eddie wilson did pass the time by typing:

My pet peeve, driving without all glass clear of snow/ice. Runner up is eating, drinking, using the phone, putting on makeup, etc.

Vehicles don't kill people. Stupid people driving vehicles kill people. An idiot behind the wheel of any vehicle is one idiot too many.

I would like to see your evidence that the amount of fuel in the tank has anything to do with how tipsy a vehicle is.

If your SUV is "tipsy", you must be feeding it booze. Switch to gas.

The pr> How about if everyone hangs up the damn cell phone, stops playing with > the radio,

OK with me.

Both of those actions mean you're asking to be run off the road.

If you pay attention to what you're doing, you'd never slow to the speed limit and you'd certainly never keep a huge gap in front of yourself, causing people to cut in one after the other until you're rightly treated by other drivers as a public nuisance for blocking the road.

Anyone who would follow your advice is a moron.

How about everyone stop posting this bullshit in the Jeep forum and take your anti-SUV PC opinions back to the Radical Greens & Democrat Hand-Wringers Wine & Cheese Party forum, huh?

Oh, and by the way, Jeeps aren't SUVs, and SUVs aren't Jeeps.

From OE Help:

To ignore a conversation

In both e-mail and newsgroups, you can ignore, and even hide, conversations that don't interest you. A conversation is an original message and all its replies.

In your Inbox or newsgroup message list, select the conversation you want to ignore. On the Message menu, click Ignore Conversation. If your message list's Watch/Ignore column is turned on, an ignore icon will appear next to all the messages of an ignored conversation.

Notes

To hide ignored messages so they don't clutter up your message lists, click View, point to Current View, and then select Hide Read or Ignored Messages. Selecting Hide Read or Ignored Messages will hide messages you have read, messages you have ignored, and messages you have both read and ignored.

If you want to hide ignored messages, but want to keep your read messages visible, click Hide Read or Ignored Messages as instructed above, click View, point to Current View, and then select Define Views. In the Define Views dialog box, click New. In box 1 of the View Editor, select Where the message has been read. In box 2, click the words Show/Hide and select Show messages. In box 3, give this view a name, and then click OK.

end help.

If you can't figure that out, you could exercise some self-control and just resist the apparently overwhelming urge that you have to read threads that don't interest you.

HTH.

The Wrangler passes the grade of being usefull in hard work offroad environments, but the Cherokee and GC don't they're too much the product of being aimed at supermarket warriors.
