Daily Kos :: Comments The hidden cost of SUVs

Damn. (none / 0)

I live in the D.C. area, and at least once daily some car rolls over on the Beltway. And nine times out of ten we are told that it was "an SUV which was speeding". Sometimes they will shake things up and say it was a Hummer, which is another POS that I will never touch. Let me just say that I love my mom's '98 Malibu...

John McCain is NOT a Bush supporter. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a Bush supporter, but he is NOT a porn star.

  ...is exactly why I'm happy I don't have to take the Beltway to get to work (Live on Capitol Hill, work in Annapolis. Going against traffic...what a joy)
  I saw an overturned SUV on the outer banks once. It had hit a patch of road where there was a little water and a little sand. It was completely upsidedown all the way over on the other side of the road. (Bradsher's book explains how why this happens)
  My hybrid didn't even notice the difference in the road surfaces. Cheers to Civics!
