Women apparently are strongly attracted to SUVs (as men are attracted
to pickup/SUV driving women)....


Seeing an attractive woman driving a SUV is like finding out she is
boorish, stupid, a chain smoker, or burdened with some other highly
unattractive quality.

Seems drivers of pickup trucks, vans, and SUVs actually favor lower
speed limits. Kind of wimpy for an aggressive SUV driving type!...


Who want to drive fast in a vehicle with a high center of gravity, anyhow?

Honda Civics *do not* tow or haul capably. They're *not designed*
for it and you were driving *irresponsibly* if you really were
using the vehicle in such a way....


I would not want to use any of the Civics I have had to haul more than
about 600 pounds total load on a regular basis - I have carried close to
1000 pounds total while moving, and the ride and handling was definitely
affected.

Why is it that "urban planning" always involves enforcing decisions that
people won't arrive at on their own?
Because people are selfish *******s who put their own greed ahead of the
welfare of the whole.


That's if you leave the room that is.


In fact the closer you stand to a person the more they care about you.


Or the more they want you to go the hell away. Which is caring in a
negative way.


Mah, the primitive mind is always looking for the easy way out.
Scamming the guy breathing down your neck just isn't as attractive as
to rip of some one on a different continent.

It appears that the inventor of the bicycle umbrella neglected that if
the cyclist attains normal forward speeds, much rain will still hit the
cyclist from the front.

If I had proper ground level storage, I would get on of these:
