Brought To You By Big Oil
A typical trip down West Alabama
Two pieces worth reading on various liberal anti-SUV ranting, written by
and
David Brooks (requires damn registration)
I must report that two months after the purchase, I'm quite pleased with my SUV -- and it makes me smile when I romp down and make that 210 HP 3.7L powerplant roar. But then, I'm a pawn of big oil, so what do you expect? And as a pawn of big oil, you know what roar I like even better? That of a certain black Ford Cobra. But that doesn't bring out the irrational hatred that an SUV does, despite worse mileage.
Sadly, one needs an SUV to get around Mayor Pothole's America these days. I really don't see how people can get around Montrose in a little econobox without the potholes destroying the damn things. Who needs the Rubicon trail -- Jeep could just certify their vehicles by sending 'em down West Alabama towards Montrose.
