What is even more stupid is when some idiot in a small car pulls out in front of my Suburban while I'm doing 50mph.

Do these idiots have ANY idea what will happen to them and their little Honda Civic if my 5,700lb truck smashes into the side of their little car while going 50mph?

I'll live, they won't, idiots...

Or when a Suburban pulls in front of my little Geo Prizm :(. Ha, if a little car ran into the back of my Sierra though, it would not even dent my bumper. I bet the front of their car wouldn't look so hot when the trailer hitch rips through it though!!!! :)

They will say, "Bob, did you hear something?"

Yea, you would hardly notice it... Your friend would be saying, "Parker, did you hear something?"

Oh, because I have a tank and the idiot in the small little car does not? :)

You must remember that I live in Texas, where the Suburban is known as the "Texas Cadillac".

It is perfectly possible for me to pull up to a red light and have Suburbans/Tahoes/Expeditions/Excursions all around me without a single car in sight.

It is simple self-defense! :D

Hehehe... :)

About 25% of all Suburbans sold in the world are sold here in Texas. Fully 2/3 of the vehicles sold here are trucks (Pickups/SUVs).

Texas is a truck state, don't drive around in a VW Golf here. :D

Actually, our Chief pilot drives a VW GTI, one of these days she's gonna get killed in that rollerskate...

I'm so glad I live in Austin now... people with your attitude (whether you are serious or not...) pissed me off. My brother and his wife got a Suburban to have enough room for a family of 4, as do alot of people in Houston. They actually believe that "bigger is better" crap. The ignorance and susceptability to fashion is overwhelming.

Don't get me wrong, "bigger" is not always better...

Given a choice, I'd rather be in a Volvo crashing into another Volvo...

But since I don't have that choice, I do NOT want to be in a Volvo and have a Suburban crash into me. Mass matters, and you cannot design a 2,000lb car well enough to make a difference when a 6,000lb truck comes crashing into it.

Suburbans are not nearly as crashworthy as many cars are, in single vehicle wrecks they do worse than cars. But in multi-vehicle wrecks, they far surpass cars for survivability. This is why people buy them.

So the question is, am I more likely to crash myself, or crash into someone/have them crash into me? Since I'm a good driver and have never been in a wreck, I feel the latter is more likely to occour, so I drive a tank. :)

For what it's worth, I've seen a lot of Suburban/other car accidents on the road, including one that occoured right in front of me. A Ford Taurus was trying to beat the red light, a Suburban drove through the intercetion and broadsided it. You would have been hardpressed to tell it was once a Ford Taurus, but the Suburban was surprisingly intact after that wreck. The driver in the Taurus was Careflighted to the hospital (never did find out what happened to him), the Suburban driver walked away with only a few brusies.

Mass counts...

Hey maybe they think they are in Montana, you get lots of idiots thinking they can beat the big suv in the little car here. Sept they don't think of what it take to get the little 4 banger up to speed before the person in the suv has to apply breaks. Half the time here the little 4 banger is running on 3. I have a friend in the tow business, you wouldn't believe the accidents in a year that are suv vs small import.

Yes it is... My Expedition was at least four wheel drive, my new Suburban is not... :) It lacks the ground clearance my Expedition had, but truth be told, I drive off road so seldom (yes, I have done so), it isn't worth the lousy milage and expense.
