Jeeps and other SUV's are too big, gawky, and annoying... FOR LONDON. Most New Yorkers probably think the same. We have an SUV and have problems with it here in Taipei, because this city just isnt set up for big cars.
That's okay, cause when the rockets start flying and the shells start hitting, who're gonna be the ones getting the fuck out with 4WD and who're gonna be the ones puttering around in cars they could probably get out and carry?

I don't like SUVs a whole lot, but I dont dislike them any more than any other car, either. I'd personally scrap 'em all for a Microbus.

Jinx,
I am sure everyone knows you use your jeep as a workhorse so give the thread turkey no more thought.


My partner owns a Jeep. There resale value is good and you can sure pack them up when you live in areas with lots of outside activites like it appears you do.


Who the fuk cares what you drive. The important thing is that you are ok.

here's the thing. a lot of folks buy the biggest SUV they can find because they have little bitty peckers, even thought they will never leave the road. oh well, that's their choice.

some of us use our trucks and SUVS to haul people comfortably, haul items that just wouldn't fit in the back of a camry, tow things like jet skis, boats, campers, and *gasp* some even dare to drive off road! i know it is horrible to imagine, but some of us really enjoy being able to take our vehicles to places that are off the beaten path without worrying about damaging the vehicle (or the environment). and BTW what vehicle only gets 8 mpg? fucking idiot.

NSFW or anywhere else. This could be offensive to just about everyone. But it's at least partially appropriate here.

A good way to spend about 25 minutes.

I love threads like this.





And yes, I have overstated my NSFW warning, there's no nudity or porn, but I wouldn't want to offend anyone!

So you're psychic? You *know* that Jinx and LJ drive a Jeep for status? Despite the fact that you've been shown pictures demonstrating that they are outdoors people, with children, who use a four wheel drive for carrying camping gear, recreational gear and family. You should be playing the stock market with insight like that. Twit. Yes, I am calling petty names. I virtually never do this directly to someone, but in your case I'll make an exception.

Personally I drive a car that takes up a little less room on the roads, doesn't pollute so much and is statistically less likely to be involve in a fatal road accident.
*This* statement I have no trouble with. State your position with out berating someone else. Perfectly reasonable.

I suppose in the States, you have the room, disposable income and attitude to run a car like that. But when I see pictures of freeways nose-to-tail with these things it just looks ridiculous.
Back to being a twit.

My father recently bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee, the reasoning behind it was to pull his large caravan on holiday. Fair point, but he can hardly drive the damned thing because it's so bloody big and his neighbours get pissed off when he parks it outside his house and blocks access. I of course started giving him a bit of grief over his poor taste in vehicles, citing the environmental impact involved in shipping 2 1/2 tons of pig iron across the Atlantic and the 8 mpg fuel economy, his scathing retort was 'well at least it isn't French'.
I like your father already.

We actually have 2 gas guzzling jeeps! and i like to light my cigars with $20 bills. and.....i DON'T recycle.


the sooner we exhaust the oil supply, the better. you're not changing the world economy's dependence on oil. you're prolonging it.

You might think you are better than everyone who has a nicer car, better looking wife and a better looking life than you but what you really are is a stupid, jealous, insecure nancy boy who has carefully crafted a self-reinforcing delusion to cushion yourself against the reality that you drive a crumpled-up wad of French tin foil not because you have a duty to the planet but because you are a sorry-ass loser in every sense of the word and you simply cannot come to grips with it.

Oh, yeah, good luck in the election. Nice car. Dude. -ette.
Congrats Sproglet! You've just become the 2nd person? somebody to make my ignore list.

Oh, yes. The self-righteous Brit--he's NOT just a myth!

Jay, you, sproglet, buddug and that complete piece of eurotrash-hipp are, without doubt, the most prejudiced, self-satisfied, smug, wankers here. What's the matter? You all have those low-class accents that automatically make you sub-human in your own country so you come here to express all your outrage at your social impotency at home? Dump on people because you get treated like shiite? You all a bunch of alienated losers? Hmm? Because that is what it sounds like--all you four DO is bash Americans-individually and collectively and it is getting very, very boring. You four aren't so much humans as you are slogans. Whenever I see one of your names on a thread I already know what's been said without even reading it. If you one-trick ponies could come up with something MORE than just, "I hate you! You're stupid!" you might, just might, learn something.

If you're capable of learning.

But the question here, in this thread, is how on earth can sprog get all up in arms over what LJ and jinx drive when the bigger drain of assets and money and resources is the fucking Monarchy? Oh,yes. I know. The Monarchy get's spog's nuts in an uproar, right? Well, then. completely worth it, eh? I guess it takes that much to get old sprog excited. You hypocrites. Take the beam out of your own eye. Wankers.

It's all Jinx's fault. If she had been driving an LAV or M-1 Abrams, it wouldn't be an issue. Time to trade up.
