City drivers don't needs suvs and trucks. SUVs for women are like trucks for men though. They like to sit up taller than the other cars, they enjoy muh status symbol, they like being able to carry tons of junk/brats around everywhere and they convince themselves they need all those bells and whistles like 4x4 drive for going to the local corner store. :D

I guess it's different if you live in a place with really shit weather or if you live in the country. You do honestly need 4x4 or something with decent power behind it if you live out in the sticks, because you'll be miles from the nearest emergency services and the weather might fuck over the roads/your property entirely. It's helpful to have more storage space for stocking emergency supplies, too.

You can tell who needs a truck/suv/jeep/whatever vs who has one for status by checking the bottom/quarter panels of the truck. If it has mud on the bottom, they probably need their truck. You don't usually get caked mud on the bottom of a truck with city driving.

Of course, I'm not some commiefornian shitlib who thinks everyone should ride bikes. It's perfectly fine if you want a thing just because you want it, but minivan/suv moms and pickup dads can be cunts for a lot of other reasons.

Fuck, most of these new SUVs don't even look like they're intended for actuall offroad duty. The manufacturers know their customers won't ever leave the city or highway.

We have quite a lot of deers here where I live and deer-vehicle collisions aren't rare at all. They rarely are lethal, but having a bigger car will certainly lower your risk of a serious injury in such crash. If you have to drive a lot in these deer infested forests, SUV isn't a bad option.

I recall some news many years ago that a country banned cars, or tried, what might have been Land Rover's or Jeeps because of their massive advantage in crumple zone compared to normal cars. People that hit such a car at enough speeds would die while they get away unscathed.

I can see that. Not only do I have a normal car, but it's also older (aka smaller). I'd be fucked if some SUV were to crash into me from any direction aside from the back I guess.

99% of SUVs you see driving around have nobody sitting in them besides the driver. They haul around empty space in a car that has no actual offroad capabilities. Most aren't 4x4, even less have tires that would allow them to even drive over a curb.
It's nothing but status symbol shit, just that they aren't even nice cars unlike some Mercedes or fuckoff Lambo.

Kinda OT, but I was checking to verify that GW Bush gave Bill Cosby the Presidential Medal of Freedom :lol: when I took a look at who Obama gave awards to. LMFAO!!! It's just crazy what this man's priorities were. Like he gave a disproportionately high number of them to entertainers, sports people, and activists. And he even gave his own Vice-Pres one! And Merkel!

It's only fair that he'd give God-Empress Merkel - blessed be her name - a meaningless freedom award, seeing how he himself got one literally before he could do anything.
A bit of a shame, really. Would've been funny if he got that Nobel Prize while ordering drone strikes against Muslims.

Of course Obama gives the medal to a bunch of basketball players.
>Meryl Streep
>Steven Spielberg

I used to think that bit about Obongo loving Spider-Man was a fake meme but maybe its true, what a dork. Black nerds, not even once.

Gotta give awards to your Hollywood pedophile defenders to have that steady supply of children to fuck.
