Ban SUVs on NY City streets?

If you want to drive an off-road behemoth, you might start by getting off the city's streets, a state lawmaker says.

A Queens assemblyman wants to ban monster sport-utility vehicles from New York City's streets and parkways.

"They're too big for the city. They generate too much pollution. I think the law would deter people from having SUVs in the city," said Milen Radunovich, 18, a Manhattan student.

Are these the same folks who voted for Gore? Why yes. Yes they are!

Wouldn't upset me. I live in Philly, and while SUV's have their place in this world, a big city is NOT one of them.
 
Let's put it this way... I've tried a few times to drive my Eclipse (non-lowered) through Manhattan... midtown a few times. Even my old Neon took a severe pounding... I thought I had blown out my tires a few times in the unavoidable 'I'll swallow the car'-size potholes.

SUVs don't belong in a crowded environment... but if you can't drive a regular car without destroying it over the potholes... you bet your @$$ I'm going to be driving my Ford Exploder up and down 5th Avenue. And that's even despite the fact that I HATE... HATE SUVs... I hate driving them as well.

I'm not sure.

I think that some of the larger ones are actually registered as trucks. They might be able to ban trucks without commercial plates within the city limits.

 
i think if it's over 3 tons, it's qualified as a truck.

This is just a bunch of wasted air and ink. Ban will never go through
 
SUVs contribute to road-wear

overweight cars + shoddy road construction (or "average" since its all by union construction workers) + rain = potholes

of course rain +SUVs by itself is a less than optimal combination due to the higher center of gravity and excessively increased momentum

Dear Mr./Ms. [insert name here],



On behalf of LMG, I want to thank you for your bold decision

to purchase a Pilgrimage. Your move will certainly inspire

others to follow your lead to discover worlds and oceans unknown.

Congratulate yourself on being a true "Pilgrim".



Mr./Ms. [insert name here], Isn't it comforting to know
you can drive a vehicle while stone drunk, with no seatbelt,

and high on crack without endangering YOUR self or YOUR family?

Soon everyone else will realize what a comfort this is and all

humanity will own SUVs.


Unfortunately, due to overwhelming demand, your order cannot

be filled until sometime in the next millenium. As a result,

we cannot make contracts for new orders at this point. We

appreciate your patience.


As a reward for showing your interest in LMG, we're giving

you an exclusive look at our next model, the Lincoln Mortifier.

Thank you for visiting LMG and we hope to procure your business

in the near future.



As CEO, President, Operations Manager, Chief Riveter, and Lug

Nut Distribution Manager,



Jay Karolyi
