"why do you drive an SUV (or large truck?)"


          

unless you use it to drive up
mountains or haul tools, you are making the world worse for everybody not in an SUV


fact: nobody in small cars can see anything on the road in front of them with your tank in the way.

fact: if you get into an accident, you are more likely
to kill the person in a small car. you will be fine, because you are in a tank. but the people in a vehicle you plow through, will die.

fact: burning that much gas to drive around a family of 4 around is an ecological waste.





yes, i am hating on ppl that drive SUV's that don't haul tools or drive up mountains.
because if i get into an auto acident with an SUV, it will crush me and my reasonably sized car.

I am not baller enough to buy and put gas into an SUV every week.

because even if i was wealthy, i i have driven regular ppl sized cars enough to know that SUV's are a dick move.

i am not sure what one is lacking in their lives
to feel the need to take up that much space on the world.


why do you enjoy driving your SUV?

are you aware that you make roads more dangerous for others?

is that part of the appeal?

is it to protect your own personal safety?

it makes sense to want to protect yourself and your family in an accident.

We keep a minivan. At one point we had two until I sold mine. I have 4 kids and piling everybody into a sedan just ain't an option. I ain't tryin to hear the arguments and shit on long trips 'cause somebody's leg is touching, elbows in the wrong place and alladat.

Plus, when it comes time to move I can take out the rear seats and load it floor to ceiling with shit.

7. "'Murica b/w CANYONERO!!!"
In response to Reply # 0
Wed Aug-05-15 11:15 AM by SoWhat

  

          

A:

i love the idea of a huge truck - like a Ford F-350 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Super_Duty#Third_generation_.282011.E2.80.93present.29) or a Dodge Ram 3500 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Ram#2009.E2.80.93present_.28DS.2FDJ.29) or a Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Silverado#Third_generation_.282014.E2.80.93present.29).

...but i'm not an asshole. so i just sit in them at the Auto Show and dream.

where in the hell would i park one of those? and filling it up? for what?

i think it's the 7 year old boy in me who's still obsessed w/big machines. that's the only way i can make sense of my desire to own one of these.

B:

whenever i sit in one of those dream trucks i sing the 'Canyonero' song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZeFDe44Ddo & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkapW5ob9Qs

recently a friend had borrowed his father's Dodge Ram 2500 and as we drove around town in it (we couldn't park ANYWHERE) i played 'Canyonero' on repeat. i was mad he wouldn't let me drive it but i understood.

fuck you.

Things like "other drivers," "road safety," "the environment," etc.

http://gladwell.com/big-and-bad/



The funniest are people that say things like "I need a giant SUV for my kids," as if we're too dumb to realize that three kids will fit comfortably in the back seat of a Honda Civic, with a trunk available for additional storage.

basically, like someone else said, 'Murica.

Its safer for me and my family because i can see "other drivers," therefore I ensure "road safety," for myself and my passengers, and my passengers get a much better view of "the environment," etc. from their elevated perch.

i don't care if being involved in a collision w/my vehicle poses and increased risk of death or bodily harm to "other drivers," therefore I ignore "road safety" for other ppl. and i also don't care if driving my large vehicle is more likely to harm "the environment" b/c i'm more concerned w/my pleasure. b/c i want to. and i can.

you scared... get an suv.

Personally, I also have a car and i don't feel unsafe or in danger while next to SUVs unless the SUV driver can't drive. But i'd feel the same way if the unsafe driver was in a smart car.

Same things goes when i'm next to a tractor.

but if you are making it a safety issue that people are less safe driving a car with SUVs on the road than then inverse of that is true as well.

So yeah, if you love your family you should be driving the biggest thing on the road (c) sowhat

nah...that's a terrible comparison.

a gun's sole purpose is to shoot something/someone...an SUV isn't built to get into an accident...hence the main reason why that argument is so dumb.

you are a perfect driver so you driving a large vehicle wouldn't be any sort of problem for anyone.

and your family matters more than the environment too. so it'd be fine if you haul your brood around in a vehicle that pollutes the air b/c the world you'll leave behind for your kids and maybe grandkids isn't important.

i'm right there w/you.

my pilot is in much better condition than my older altima so i'd venture to say my altima prolly does more damage to the environment than the pilot. Nontheless, both just passed inspection so...........

243. "getting hit by an SUV is worse than getting hit by a regular size car."
In response to Reply # 112


          

it's physics.

which, of course, is the point of an SUV.

buy a giant car so that if you
fuck up and crash, other ppl's families die.

not yours.

so it doesn't matter if you
don't see a car in one of your giant SUV blindspots.

because you and your family will win the car crash.



that is my point here.
if everybody would stop driving tanks down the road, we could all see more of the road, which
makes the roads safer for everyone.

or, just drive a tank.
other ppl are less safe, but
in the event of a crash, the big car wins.


it makes sense, if you don't think about it.

right???

The average Mustang, Corvette, Camaro, Firebird, AMG Benz, or any V8 powered performance car has as bad or WORSE gas milage as your typical V8 powered SUV.

Any V8 powered sedan will have shitty gas milage, especially the "hood special" converted police cruisers but no outcry over those.

For example: my ML500 uses the same engine as the S500 of the same year (2005) and gets almost the same mileage as the S-class (13/18 vs 14/20).


The majority of those smaller SUV's (think Rav4, CR-V, Escape, etc) are powered by the same 4 or 6 cylinder as any coupe or sedan and gas mileage is only slightly less than most sedans using the same engine (i.e. the original CR-V got 23city/28highway despite weighing 3200lbs and using a 4 cylinder to move it)

I could go further into detail, but I'm hoping y'all are intelligent enough to see that the whole fuel economy argument is some bullshit.

Meanwhile, the large "A" "B" and "C" pillars on your SUV make it hard for you to see OTHER drivers. You have HUGE blind spots. Tinted windows in the back means that your SUV is essentially opaque, cutting off the view of drivers behind you. Rollovers are a real concern for these vehicles, also. Squishy suspension means you can barely *feel* the road (unless you've spent the $$$ to have yours upgraded like pickup drivers do).

On my motorcycle, I have close to 360-degrees of view angle. Meanwhile, SUVs drivers can't seem to see me when I'm in the lane next to them.

In response to Reply # 13


  

          

and what happens when you transport any of their cousins?

Personally, my niece and a few nephews visit me often (almost weekly if not weekly).

What about blended families?

You got 2, she has 2 and ya'll make 1. How's that Honda civic holding up then? So should we just get two cars and double up on our environmental hazard via more gas consumption, more road blockage (2 cars), more pollution (double emissions), more likelihood of an accident(2x)?

I get it, ya'll don't like SUV's but people with 3+ kids and a close knit family probably need the space.

I can haul 5 with me at any time plus another adult. That Civic can't do that.

Plus in IL a booster seat can be required until age 12(!!!)

You don't even have the max amount of passengers in your lil Civic EVERYDAY but if you're single and I'm married with 3 kids, who do you think will need that extra space more?

So I guess you'll be buying one of these soon huh?

http://www.eliomotors.com/gallery/

84 miles per gallon
American made (mostly)
$6800 pricetag
Seats 2

But will you have someone riding shotgun EVERYDAY tho?

Places children need to be transported:
-School
-Doctor
-Stores
-Gym
-To see other family members
-Restaurants

So people are supposed to rent a SUV every time they need to do one of those things with 3+ kids? Word?

We have two cars, the aforementioned Forester and a Hyundai Sonata. Each has two carseats. You can not add a third carseat or get a teen or adult between the two seats. We seriously considered a minivan.

Is a good driver more likely to get in an accident in an suv than a car bc of large blind spots...i'm not so sure about that.

A good driver should always know when cars are in their blind spot at any random moment. Checking over your shoulder is a last safety check, but an aware drive already knows whats in his surroundings.

i'm assuming there is the issue of physics (weight+ speed) making those accidents particularly dangerous
and the ride height makes them more susceptible to rollovers and uneven points of impact
imagine what would happen to the drive of a miata if a SUV hit them head on....

It's to get away from these people:

>-Idiots who wear earbuds to listen to music while driving
>-People who insist on doing 90+ when everyone else is doing
>70-75

Because it's safer to get the fuck away from cars than to ride near them, for all of the reasons that you've mentioned. There are no "minor accidents" on a motorcycle.

It's not a good idea to ride a 400lb bike next to some dude in a giant SUV/little econobox playing with his phone and can't see you anyway because of the enormous blind spots he has.

Avoiding cars is the way to keep safe on a motorcycle.

Sitting in stop-and-go traffic with someone in a 2-ton+ car behind you looking down at the cell phone in their lap is putting one's well being 100% in their hands. Playing bumper cars without bumpers is a losing battle. Better to filter through traffic and leave the car drivers to play with all of their distractions. The same for bicycle riders.

Also, by doing this the bikes get out of YOUR way and make more room for cars on the street, but this is 'Murica and most drivers are too selfish and self-centered to realize this.

Riders that ride responsibly *hate* these guys because they give us all a bad name, like those dudes that attacked that family in the range rover in NYC.

I too cringe when I see a guy weaving through 50mph traffic at 75+, riding on the shoulder on bike lane, running red lights, etc. Shit, I hate seeing other riders with no helmets (this *really* pushed up the death rate).

You were "watching him the whole time" but still ran right into him? lol. Were those big brakes on that big truck were just like "naw, yo"?

Apparently the height of your truck and being able to see didn't help for anything here.

I've seen asshole car drivers cut in front of trucks and buses and always wonder what the heck is on their minds. Earlier this week a driver (talking on their cell, of course) cut off a city bus, leaving about 1/2 car length between them at 30+ MPH.

Nothing anyone can do about the idiot drivers out there.

my truck isn't humongous...it's a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I've driven Sedans that felt bigger. I really like the truck though and it doesn't do too bad on fuel. It's also not so huge that you should be intimidated by it on the road. but honestly your fear of driving next to a larger car doesn't mean it is dangerous. it might just mean you're a bad driver.

-i work from home so i'm not killing the environment anymore than you are
-it's comfortable and the trunk space gets a ton of use...especially now that I have a kid
-i like in Upstate NY, it's nice to have it during the winters (not that it's required)

ultimately it's because i liked it, could afford it and wanted it...it's not that serious

a friend has a Ford SUV that got all fucked up this past winter after he drove it through some snow. he'd thought b/c it's a, you know, SUV and b/c it sits up higher than a car that he could clear the lil bit of snow he drove through w/o issue. NOPE. car was fucked up for weeks. the dealer said he'd seen dozens of them brought in w/the same issue.

so i kinda LOL when ppl say they drive one b/c it snows where they live. b/c many of those vehicles are NOT about that life.

fuck you.

103. "The worst are the SUV drivers that dodge shallow potholes"
In response to Reply # 91


          

Giant "truck" with big tires, but they will go into the lane next to them to dodge a pothole that's a 1/2-inch deep.

2nd place goes to the "I need my SUV because it snows" folks that crash because they don't realize that SUVs can't STOP better in the snow (or ice, or rain).

>on a rainy day, you can drown in our potholes

SE Michigan potholes are legendary. Back when I was living there we had the 4 door blazer. The typical pothole you just roll over and don't think about it. The pond-sized potholes you roll through slowly, but you still roll through them.

Pretty much every east coast/midwest city is going to have horrible potholes because of the freeze/thaw cycle in winter. I never popped a tire or bent a rim on a pothole in my civic (and I've hit some DEEP ones).

I forgot to mention the SUV (and car drivers, to be fair) that slow down to 5mph on cobblestone streets.

41. "Why do truckers drive those large 18-wheelers?"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Couldn't they just transport our goods to stores in like 15 vans?

Don't they care about the danger those trucks cause to other drivers when it takes them much longer to break?

Don't they care how their slow transmissions block up traffic in rush hour?

Don't they understand these guys are on the road up to 14-15 hours a day sometimes and driver fatigue is a real concern?

So annoying...

there's tons of practical reasons to own a truck/suv and none of them have anything to do with what you said.

if you're a home owner, you're eventually gonna need a truck or SUV because i assure you that you're gonna get tired of making multiple trips to Home Depot to haul stuff in your tiny little car (trust me). same goes for buying furniture. feels good to not have to ask your friend with the truck to help you move something.

i have two kids and i'd like to be able to be in the car without them constantly kicking me in the back while i'm trying to drive. and heaven forbid if i want to take someone else somewhere in addition to the kids. we used to not be able to sit anyone else in the back seat with the kids car seats.

it's pretty awesome to be able to go on trips and actually fit all our stuff in the car comfortably. no more stuffing bags between the kids or in the floor under their feet.

as far as gas, it only takes me about $45 to fill up so i'm not sure what you're talking about there. it has nothing to do with being wealthy. i drive a pretty sensible SUV.

i'm not even gonna touch the safety issues because that's some of the dumbest stuff i've ever heard.

he drove out of a parking spot and got the undercarriage all fucked up w/snow. it wasn't like he was off-roading or anything. but he figured b/c it's an SUV that it could manage getting through a few inches of snow. NOPE.

and the dealer claimed that several SUVs had come in w/the same problem.

Who's trying to plow THRU the snow? I just don't want it spinning me off the road like it did my Taurus back in the day.

Heavier weight = less likelihood.

Plus getting stuck in snow is less likely.

And I don't have to drive 5mph in a 45 lane like a civic, I can do 25-30 and be ok.

^^^Better quality of life in a city where it can snow 5-7 months out the year.

I'm in NJ, you in NY, my man auragin is in CHI...ALL of us have been to the supermarket loading shit up in the truck in January, as we pull out the spot with ease watching other people have to rock back and forth to get out the parking lot.

Add to the fact that we had a long ass driveway which my old car (Altima) rarely made up, and copping the truck was a no brainer.

Had to take a shovel TO WORK to make sure I could get out of the spot OK.

Anytime it snowed, my Altima was useless

you don't drive through snow in anything...you drive over it. You have a better chance driving over snow in an SUV than a car.

he drove over some snow trying to get out of a parking spot. the service guy @ the dealer admitted several other SUVs had come in w/the same problem after similar use. he chalked it up to a design flaw w/the SUV and agreed that homie hadn't used the thing unreasonably.

In response to Reply # 128


  

          

General rule of thumb is anything over 8 inches and you're gonna need to shovel some to get out of that spot and prevent undercarriage damage.

Or maybe it's just Ford. I have a GMC Acadia. No issues here.

176. "right and he had shoveled."
In response to Reply # 157


  

          

he was trying to get out of the spot and drove over some snow to do it. he admitted that if he were in a car he'd have shoveled more but b/c it's an SUV he thought he could get away w/o shoveling as much as he would've w/a car.

the service guy @ the dealer said several other SUVs had come in w/the same problem. he figured the SUV has a design flaw b/c it made sense to expect the thing to be able to clear a few inches of snow.

fuck you.

We both know there's advantages and disadvantages to whichever vehicle we choose. But I'd rather be in an Acadia when there's 20 inches of snow on the ground than a Prius.

-I have a family of 5 with 2 tall teen boys and we don't all fit comfortably in a sedan on long road trips (which we take frequently)
-they are more gas-efficient than SUVs of yesteryear because car makers are using lighter materials these days
-i feel safer and i need that after being in a car accident in January.

those okay with you?

so is limited to genital compensation.

So blame Detroit (or whoever makes cars these days).

I have the same reasons as a lot of the folks above...

Big guy with a tall wife and a tall preteen son.

I coach and have to haul balls, goals, cones....etc. around.

Road trip a lot to the beach, so we need space for lounge chairs, beach toys...etc.

20+ years ago there were plenty of big car options for some who wanted leg room and storage space. If this were the 80's or early 90's I might have a Oldsmobile Delta 88, Buick, Grand Torino or a Wagoneer.

Hell, Cadillac and Lincoln don't even make big-ass cars anymore.

My 21 year old just sold her '95 Taurus. I worked on that thing the whole time she's owned it.

I had a 92 Mercury Sable at one point. Had the 3.8L V6 in it.

Before I bought my old Volvo, I owned a 1999 Taurus with the DOHC Duratec V6 in it.


Recently I checked out a 2014 Taurus. Shit felt a lot smaller on the inside to me than the previous generations. I could be wrong, but it really seemed smaller.

For example the Taurus is now the only full size car Ford makes.

I had a Taurus before I had a SUV, and the legroom was just okay. I'm 6'1, my wife is 6'0 and my son is 5'7, at age 11, which means he's gonna be 6.0+ real soon. A Taurus isn't gonna cut it.

A few days ago we went to Tybee Island with a cooler. 3 lounge chairs, 3 suitcases and a backpack. That would have packed a Taurus to the gills.

Basically, my Explorer has a version of the same Ford 6 cyl SHO engine as the Taurus, so I'm not burning that much more gas.

Taurus: 19 city/29 highway
Explorer: 17 city/24 highway

210. "No, don't blame Detroit, blame the people demanding SUV's"
In response to Reply # 147


  

          

>So blame Detroit (or whoever makes cars these days).

Once upon a time, Detroit had only a few SUV's: Blazer/Jimmy, Suburban, Bronco/Bronco II, Cherokee/Wagoneer and that's it.

The folks that bought them typically took them off road or used them for utility.

Very few people bought them "just because". My 300-400lb aunt being one of them back in '84. She copped a green Blazer with gold running boards 'cause, well... she was big and "cars" didn't suit her well.

The SUV market stayed pretty even until the Ford Explorer hit the market. GM, being ever so crafty, tried to strike first with a 4 door SUV with the 4 door Blazer/Jimmy and added a variant for Oldsmobile (for no good reason).

This is where they began to compete with Chrysler's basically unstoppable minivans for sales and they took off from there. The Big 3 and the Japanese decided to cash in when people demanded more. Shit is simple Capitalism at work.

Full sized SUV's work better (my track coach used to haul us around the state in an old ass Suburban), but minivan's rule in this space.

Wagoneer=Cherokee=SUV

But, yeah... the 80's had PLENTY of big car options.

153. "I need room"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I am fairly tall, so I need enough leg room and space to feel comfortable. I also bought my SUV (which I would not call a tank) because the brand has a good reputation of lasting a long time (I am over the 330K mark).

I see nothing wrong with people buy SUVs or trucks. Many people do use them to haul things from tools, furniture, supplies to boats, jet skis, 5th wheels, etc.

It is a gas guzzler and tires are expensive, but it works for many people. Lastly, I personally don't want to drive a 4 banger of any sort except to commute to work. I like having some power. I know there are cars who have hp thst will meet and exceed my expectations and I may end up buying a car in my next purchase, but I may also decide to buy a pick up truck being that I love trucks.

In the end, to each one's own. What appeals to you may or may not appeal to someone else and vice versa.

And it comes in handy A LOT. Speed bumps, curbs, medians, parking blocks, mud, rocks, water. Mine is a 2WD and I can still own all of the above.

It's also super handy for camping and moving things. I wouldn't want to be without it.

depending on what you want to do.

if you have a ton of people, you need a full size van, if you don't, you lose the backseat(s) and have way more space than most of the SUVs people are driving

they generally are a bit better on fuel, they handle pretty awesomeley.

with dual sliding doors and that back open, you can load and unload the whole thing in like 5 fucking seconds.

they're actually easier to drive than SUVs, and you're still sitting up high.

they just don't look cool. that's it, that's the only thing they don't have

but a dude stepping out of a nice vehicle* with a good looking family is dope to me.



*never seen a nice van. I imagine that the interior got all types of banana peels and bread crumbs.

225. "SUV's rehabilitate:"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Recent story a 'hood' handyman told me.

He use to smoke crack. Weekly, repeatedly. Not in the desperate, 'I'll suck yo d*ck for a rock' way but in the, "got-a-good-construction-job-paying-$1500-a-week-and-I-blow-through-most-of-it-smoking" way.

Dude said his dealer use to stop by every Friday, collect his consignment loot (he was letting him get fronts early in the week) and then drop off an 8ball for handyman and his homeboy to buy ($500 every week).

Handy says he did this for a year or so.

One day his dealer rolls up, comes in to collect his $ and then tells him to come outside to get his dope. Handyman walks outside to see his dealers brand new, rimmed up, featured out, pearly white navigator.

Handyman: "Daaaamn, that truck pretty as hell!"
Dealer: "Yup. You paid for it."
Handyman: ...

Handyman says he took the dope, went inside, gave it to his homeboy and stopped smoking crack THAT day. Been clean for 6 years.

FTR i only quibbled w/the part of the story where some person agreed to dispose of the dead baby for $25. i said no one would do that for $25 - they'd either do it for free or would demand more than $25.

Says he was a recreational user. Never felt addicted or anything.

He said after the sobering realization that he paid for a truck that probably ranged $50-65K...he cut his losses.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Chicago winters were nothing. Worst car I ever drove in the snow was my wrangler. it's great if there is a ton of snow or a blizzzard but useless most other times.

Landrover is great period, I'll probably always have a discovery or defender of some sort.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

w/ makes it great for loading up decent-sized stuff once you push the back seats down. generally speaking, the closer you live to downtown, the less likely you need to be whipping an SUV. especially if your street parking options are limited.

i also think the the amount of space inside an SUV is way overblown.

HOWEVER, being behind the wheel of a big-ass SUV feels OUTSTANDING and i can understand the draw. maybe its a grass is greener thing, but i completely understand why someone who dgaf about the arguments stated in here would gladly drive one.
