Some people like to hate. They believe hating SUV owners is acceptable because they are better than people who own those types of vehicles. Notably these people who hate are generally poorly educated and spout rhetoric based on highly biased information.

Put your money where your mouth is.

Make up for the extra gas the SUV's take and pay for the gas for the rest of us.

unless you can come up with any sort of proof that SUV fuel consumption is in anyway driving up your fuel prices (versus the small factor of China putting massive strain on OPEC's capacity :p) then give it up...

If you can, great, if you can't, stop posting about it...

Have you ever asked people to stop racing [on tracks] ?

Yes, there should be a ban on NASCAR and all other racing until the energy crisis is solved.

I'm reminded of Bush I out driving his power boat, big ass grin on his face, while the Gulf War was being unleashed.

I don't hate them, but seeing as people are dying in the Middle East right now to keep our supply of cheap oil secure, the least we could do is not piss it away like it was water.

There are still two Open wheel leagues???

True the league comprised of more responsible Foriegn Countries could still run, they should just ban U.S. drivers & Teams.

3 actually. F1, CART and IRL...not including any of the Jr. series that feed drivers up to these 3.
