  • More fuel to the SUV debate



    Now you're subsidising Hummers.

    I especially like the bit where someone says he's sad that the loophole might be closed.

    You should get a deduction for buying a hybrid.
    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

      That does it... I'm going to buy a semi-trailer cab to drive around in. I won't have the trailer part, just the cab. I'll put a snowplow blade on the front of it., just to intimidate SUV people. And I'll have superbright headlights so the SUV people are blinded, too. Maybe I'll even jack up the body so I can see even better over the SUV's.

        i like the 'fuel' pun in the title

        "Her group estimates that the tax incentive's application to SUVs cost the federal treasury $840 million to $987 million last year."

        holy ****, there are children starving in africa while we hand out nearly a billion dollars to people who can afford a $60,000 vehicle

          That's communism for you. They're loyal supporters of the Party and get rewarded for it.

              Actually, this is why lawyers need less representation on the Congressional rolls, if you ask me. And smaller, less-intrusive government.

              But no - people will whine about banning the SUV's instead of seeing the real problem here.

                But are you getting government subsidies for it?

                  *cavebear discovers a great desire to see SUV's crunched under Monster Trucks (unoccupied SUV's of course, but I can imagine unhappy owners).*

                  Now is that PC or what?

                    That sounds like fun, except I don't have a license to drive those things.

                      I dont mind SUVs at all. People have free choice. I'd rather take it up to car makers to solve fuel inefficiency or not make it at all, if I am concerned about enviornment. I understand that businesses respond to sales, but its still not a good reason to blindly hate people who buy them.

                      SUV's have actually a legitimate reason if you are an outdoors person. I have 2 friends who own Nissan XTerra. One's SUV is totally f**ked up. It has dents and scratches all over it and accumulates dirt and mud all over if he doesnt carwash often. The other one uses it to pick up his girlfriend to goto the movies within town and would probably die if I even farted inside the car, let alone imagine getting a scratch on it....

                          SUV - is that a 4WD?

                          I love my 4WD. So useful when your whole valley burns down.

                            Sports Utility Vehicle.

                            Is that name only used in America?
