he’s going by GVW… which means gross vehicle weight. Which is the maximum payload the vehicle can hold. (Full passengers/cargo/tank of gas). The state laws, that state no vehicle over 6000lbs, means curb weight. He needs to recheck his definitions Curb weight which is the vehicle’s actually unladen weight ---

There are more too… but if we were to outlaw the Suburban, what would most government officials ride around in? 🙂 But the Denali, Escalade, Expedition, Navigator etc are definitely not 6000lb vehicles. ---

BUY FUCKING WAGONS, YOU TWATS! Don’t get me wrong: SUVs do fill some people’s legitimate needs…but, for every person who genuinely needs an SUV, there are 49 trendy cumdumpsters who just don’t think they’d look cool in a minivan. Fuck those assholes. I’m going to do donuts with the AC on in my 30mpg Prizm when gas goes to $8/gallon and they can’t afford to leave the house. ---

And many of the large trucks/SUVs are over 6k lbs. curb anyway. -TJ ---

What cracks me up is the people who bitch and whine about gas prices, yet I see them all flying down the parkway at 80mph in their SUV’s. Do people have no idea about speed vs. mpg?? I squeezed 29 mpg (usually I get like 22mpg) out of my cavalier once just by driving 60 on the parkway on my way to work as opposed to 75 - 80. ---
