Contrary to popular SUV owners' beliefs, most of those that bash SUVs are
not jealous. For example, a co-worker just got a Lotus Elise. I would love
to have one, but can't afford it. Needless to say, I'm very jealous.
However I don't bash the car. It's a great car that simply costs too much
for me to own. Now when I see an H2 (or other large SUV) that I can't
afford, I don't get jealous, I feel sorry for the person. Most of these
people spend 100% of the time driving on paved roads with just a few
passengers and never haul anything. That's why I buy a car that's designed
to do just that! I'm in the process of buy a Mini Cooper S because it's
simply amazing under these conditions.
Now if only we can make some sort of deal where all SUV owners keep them
off road or just haul stuff with them. I would then in return only drive my
DeLorean and future Mini on roads and never take it off roading. Also, I'll
promise to stop laughing when I see an SUV trying to park in a small
parking lot and in return, all SUVs shouldn't block my view when I'm
turning right at a busy intersection. Do we have a deal? :-)
