Its my right to drive a suburban as it is my right to drive a prius… I would choose safety over gas mileage everyday. I don;t think they suggest people into driving econimical vehicals, they try to guilt them into and i think thats wrong. It’s not your RIGHT to drive anything. Driving is a privilege, not a right. My dad made me drive a 1985 Ford Bronco fullsize as my first car because it was “big and safe”. I feel 1000000x safer in a smaller car, because it can handle, accelerate, decelerate infinitely faster than one of the “land tanks” you speak of, thus making you less likely to get into a wreck. And a Suburban is only safer in head on collisions. It does nothing for you in a side impact or a rear-ending. They only give the illusion of safety. And the real reason people want them isnt because of safety, its because they think they’re too fucking cool for a minivan or a family sedan. Nowhere else in the world will you find massive cars like we have in America and they seem to get along alright. :dunno: --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/more-enviromental-propoganda/192553)._
