I totally agree. In general I can't stand SUVs and in specific the monster variety (ie Toyota Sequoia). What family of 4 or 5 needs one of those monsters. Generally the people here claim their practicality based on their once a year trip to Tahoe.

I know. I always get preturbed when you have this lady trying to park an Excursion in a spot and it takes them like 4 attempts to get parked. Why can't you just drive a car? You know damn well they don't use up that space. Why not just have an old beater truck with a canopy at home for when you need to haul stuff and have a nice car for around town? You could still probably save $$$.

There is a lady in P-town that drives a Hummer to the Safeway to pick up milk and bread. No sh(t... I've seen it.

Whazzup with that?!!!

A couple of years ago, I went to the theater mid-winter, and this Hummer was parked on a huge mountain of plowed snow, at maybe a 40-50 degree angle. It was impressive. Ain't no way anyone else was gonna park there

I think I need one of those, just for the odd occasion when I have to create my own parking spot!

Guys, I totally agree with you about the misuse of SUVs as commuter / around-town transport. It's unbelievably wasteful. But, the SUV drivers don't have a lock on bad parking lot behavior. Seems everyone feels they have a license to damage your property when they're in a lot. Wish I knew why.

I know I've posted this before, but it bears repeating. I'm coming home from work one night and pull into a Shell station on Foothill Boulevard in La Crescenta. I pull up to the left of the first pump island at the far left of the station. The forward island is diesel only and a guy is on the other side of it, facing the other way, filling his truck up with diesel. Just as I get out of my car, a woman in an Excursion pulls in behind me, talking on a cell phone, lays on her horn, and starts screaming at me at the top of her lungs "Pull forward, pull forward." I turn toward her and say "my car doesn't run very well on diesel." She's still talking on the cell phone and can't hear me. Then she starts screaming every obsenity she can muster at me. The guy pumping diesel in his truck is looking at me and just laughing his ass off. In a fit of anger, the woman puts it in reverse and floors her Excursion back out onto Foothill without looking, into traffic and gets centerpunched by a truck. Absolutely demolishes her passenger side rear door and rear quarter panel. Then she gets out of her Excursion and starts screaming at the guy in the truck that just hit her. I high five with the guy pumping diesel in his truck and the entire (large and crowded) rest of the station gives her a standing ovation.
