OFF ROAD

OK, I dislike SUVs in general. Well, that's not entirely true. I think they're useful when uses to actually do off-roading. When used by soccer moms to be stylish minivans, no so much.

However, they make up over a third of the vehicles on the road, so I get to deal with it. No problem.

So, what's got me pissed about them today? The drive through. The local fast food joint has 2 speed bumps in the parking lot. Not even big ones. Little ones. About an inch and half high and 2 feet across. I drive my little POS car across them at 10mph and barely feel them.

For some deep and mysterious reason, this woman in front of me, in her behemoth Ford Explorer, come to a complete fucking stop and then inches over these things like she was climbing the berlin fucking wall. I'm talking 30 seconds to pull herself over each fucking one. Fucking hell woman. You've got a vehicle with 8 inches of ground clearance. Even though the Explorer really isn't designed for off road activity, it's still got a decent suspension and can fucking deal with a tiny fucking bump.

You know, you don't have to use your SUV to drive through the west. Or climb mountain trails. But you should be able to handle the fucking PARKING LOT at the mother fucking fast food joint. If that's too much for you, maybe you need to look into car pooling or something.

Stupid dumbass incompetent fucking bad drivers.

I've seen that myself. I remember driving my toyota pick-up with less clearence than an Explorer over curbs. No entrance into a parking lot where I wanted one? I made one.

"Down South" already had lots of SUVs and trucks even before they got popular. I swear, when I head out sedans and sports cars around here comprise *maybe* 1/3 of the vehicles on the road AT BEST and Charlotte is completely FLAT! No mountains, not even any respectable hills, just endless highways.

The only thing I like more than a retard doing -2 mph over a speed bump is not being able to see that the road is completely clear ahead of the SUV doing the speed limit in the passing lane while there's 20 people backed up behind them...
