Why is Obama Black?

And these:

edit: I always thought something similar to the jerk glasses (crossed-eye effect) would happen with those shoes with the springs in them. In a couple years there would be an epidemic of people walking around all wobbly-spring-legged, like newborn foals.

No problem. Put magnets in those shoes. That will also cure cancer.

What makes crashes so deadly?

Without question, the most deadly aspect to all crashes, including rollover (involved in 33% of fatal crashes cite) is driver behavior.

Front page of local paper showed some woman standing next to her overturned 1 month old Jeep Cherokee, hands on her mouth in utter horror. What happened? Dumbass slid off the road, probably thinking her big old SUV could do ANYTHING. SUPERCAR. No one else was anywhere near her. She got what she deserved. I think about my two week old car being killed by some dumbass, not because I bought a car that was the woman's equivalent to a penis substitute, and I don't know how to fucking drive. I wish I knew who she was, so I could laugh in her face (not really but man this is a hot button.)

Truth of the matter: very rarely are there real "accidents." It's usually some dumbass who thinks they are the world's greatest driver, omnipotent in the driver's seat of some behemoth that slides on the ice just like every other fucking car on the road. Making everyone else's lives miserable: the families of the people they kill, the people they hurt, the cars they demolish, the cats they make wait at home because their owner won't get home from work for 2 hours because dickface made a sudden lane change and caused an "accident." Being drunk isn't the only cause for vehicular homicide. Good old ego and stupidity can take seats next to dumbass drunk.

I would say they occupy many more seats. They are the cause of many a motorcyclists death.

A cop once explained to me why SUV tailgate so aggressively. These drivers judge distance by how much you fill his windshield. If you car is below his hood, then you do not fill his windshield. So he gets closer.

18 wheelers are taught how to judge distance. And are held responsible for bad behavior. Rare is to have a 18 wheeler driving like an SUV. Two completely different attitudes.

And then that SUV driver 'feels' he is safer - to make things even worse.

But then Obama is black. Right?

Yesterday morning a four wheel drive was coming down the hill. Drove across my lane, across the first home's front yard (took out the mail box), into a small parked car, and into the front porch of a second house. That front porch collapsed on top of the truck. Completely disconnected from the house. They had to climb out a passenger window. Doors would not open.

He was confused. Said he had four wheel drive on. Did not understand why he could not keep it on the road. A fireman gave him a funny look and walked away. Obviously as a 4x4 driver, he did not understand.

Amazing how many 4x4 drivers just know they have more control. Because advertisng tells them to know. When confronted by reality (wheels so fighting each other to even increase tire wear), four wheel drive owners only deny. And post no facts. Just silly comments such as Bruce's. Also called wasted bandwidth.

He took out a front porch that was across the front of that house. The homeowner has just refurbished that porch this summer.

He was in four wheel drive. A moving four wheel drive obviously has less traction and control. He could not even steer away from the parked car. He was using four wheel drive. It gets you started. And creates decreased stability and controls. But many know othewise because advertising and emotion says otherwise.

You mean you do not need your grave yet? I could have sworn that was you driving into that porch. Same attitude. Same denial. Well, since you are driving a four wheel drive, we will keep the grave open. Chances are either you or your victims will need it.

I vowed that I would never ever buy an SUV, but I am starting to get really sick and tired of not being able to see the road ahead of me because I sit lower than practically everybody in front of me or I can't see if there is a car coming up the aisle when I'm pulling out of a parking spot because both vehicles next to me are huge. Also, the cargo space would be kinda nice. But I don't really want to get saddled with a gas guzzler, especially considering that they are talking about prices going to $4 or $5 again. I'm really torn...and Dodge has improved the 2011 Journey too! (I'm stuck with Chrysler products being my only choice...that sucks too.)

Visibility is a real problem in parking lots now. The combination of vehicle heights and ubiquitous tinted glass make a very real danger. I park pretty far from store entrances deliberately so it's safer for me when I back out. More empty spaces around. Better visibility.

Driving on the road is less of a problem. Just follow at a safe distance, and you don't need to see around the car in front of you. Plus, when you follow at a distance, the big vehicles take up less space in your vision.

Good points Glatt.

A higher center of gravity combined with a narrow wheel base was the issue with the Sidekicks.
What does that have to do with four wheel drive being FAR SUPERIOR in snow?
What is the relevance to that versus 2 wheel drive.

Ya know, just for fun I took out an explorer in the snow. Drove it in two wheel and then four wheel drive.
There is NO COMPARISON - zero, none, nada.
In four wheel drive it had infinitely more control than in two wheel where the rear was frequently fishtailing.

[TheMercenary]

I would never own anything but a 4 wheel drive, and I don't even live where is snows. But I do live where is rains, and it rains a lot. And I hunt, and I use it to go to places cars cannot go. As classic stated there is NO Comparison as far as handling when road conditions are poor. The price of gas is no concern when it comes to my families and my safety on the road.
