From an organization called Standing Up for SUV, pickup and Van owners of America. What a load of crap. They have about as much BS as extremist environmentalists and PETA. How about all those people that go to the gym? Are they out of shape? They just go straight back to their honda civics and small cars that "cannot tow" Christ, the government should step in sometimes and ban stupid **** like this. |

I wonder what SUVOA has to say about equal crash test procedures for trucks and passenger vehicles.
Is SUVOA funded by any of the Big 3? Edit: Just found the answer to my own question. SUVOA is a front for Stratacomm, which is a Lobbying group funded by Ford, GM, DCX, and Nissan NA, among others. Last edited by Calamity Jesus; 01-23-2007 at 01:49 PM. |

Hey idiots, why are small cars supposedly "unsafe"?? Because of morons like you that don't know when to stop when it comes to the size of your SUVs.
Stop trying to compensate! |

That deserves some proof; driving deaths haven been falling for at since when the 55 national speed limit went into effect. Prove that smaller cars caused more deaths. Tom |

Geez, if they put money into research instead of groups designed to resist change, they might actually accomplish something!
