Sport SUV's, Love Em or Hate Em?

[Ginger]

Hold-up. You're going to hang me out to dry on a "driving quickly occasionally" assertion on a forum of motorsport enthusiasts that have street-registered sports cars and regularly drive on the street a little more quickly than is reasonable? That's a bit unfair. As a motorcyclist, you're right, I'm, intimately familiar with where and when it's safe to go quickly. And should I own an SUV capable of laying it down occasionally, you've got to trust that I have the judgement to do so in a reasonable manner. Otherwise, that point's a bit specious at best. I mean, you're basically geographically limiting who can own fast things or assuming that the people that do only go quickly at the track. So let's take that one off the table.

One thing I continue to learn is that I am not special or unique. I'm far from the only person that really does see a lot of usefulness in this type of vehicle. Yeah, I agree that you've got your toolsheds and douchebags running around giving themselves a bad name, but every group has them. I don't think it's reasonable to write off an entire model group based on anecdotal experiences. I guess if you don't think they're useful, then you don't. But I'm not the only person posting here saying "I really can see a role for these vehicles in my life" and I think that speaks for itself.
